| Reverse description | Panoramic view of Christiansborg Fortress on the Gold Coast of Guinea (present-day Ghana), rendered in fine engraved detail typical of commemorative Danish colonial coinage of the period. The fortress is depicted with its characteristic bastions and walls, with a large Danish royal banner prominently displayed and flying from the rooftop. The scene reflects Denmark's colonial presence in West Africa and serves as the central commemorative motif of this issue. The surrounding legend names the fortress in Latin characters. |
