| Reverse description | A fully rigged three-masted ship under full sail, bearing the Danish royal banner and the monogram of the Dansk Vestindisk Compagnie (DWC) on its stern, voyages westward toward a setting sun symbolizing the New World. The composition evokes the colonial maritime ambitions of the Danish crown in the early eighteenth century. A Latin motto arcs across the upper field, while the name CHRISTIANSBORG and the date 1704 appear in the exergue, commemorating the establishment of the Danish fort on the Gold Coast. |
