The collar of the Order of the Elephant is suspended below the shield. A broad crowned royal mantle or pavilion billows behind the entire heraldic composition. The denomination 2 FR D'OR appears in the upper legend, while the date is divided and placed to either side of the lower portion of the shield, with the mintmaster's mark and assayer's initial completing the reverse inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik VII's reign saw Denmark lose Schleswig-Holstein to Prussia and Austria in the 1864 war — but these gold pieces were struck in the years just before that catastrophe, when the constitutional monarchy established in 1849 was still new and the king's popularity ran high. The 2 Frederiks d'Or continued a denomination that had circulated among the Danish merchant and landowning classes since the 18th century, more a store of value than a coin of daily commerce.
The fineness of .896 is characteristic of the older Danish gold standard, not yet harmonized with the Latin Monetary Union specifications that would reshape Scandinavian coinage after 1873.
