| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned royal cipher of Frederik III of Denmark, composed of interlaced letters beneath a large open royal crown surmounted by a cross. A rose or floral ornament appears below the cipher. The circular legend surrounding the central device reads EBEN EZER and the date 1659, with the inscription distributed around the inner border, separated by decorative stops. The outer border is formed by a plain rim with an inner beaded circle, typical of mid-seventeenth-century Danish hammered gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece commemorates the Danish repulse of Swedish forces during the winter siege of Copenhagen in 1658–59, when Karl X Gustav marched his army across the frozen straits of the Little Belt and Great Belt in one of history's most audacious military crossings — only to find the capital's walls held. The subsequent Dutch naval intervention at the Battle of the Sound in October 1658 broke the Swedish stranglehold and gave Frederik III enough breathing room to survive.
The Penning reference designation confirms this is a pattern or presentation strike rather than a circulation issue — almost certainly intended as a diplomatic gift or court award in the immediate aftermath of the siege's failure.
