| Obverse description | The obverse retains the design of the host U.S. Seated Liberty half dollar, depicting Liberty seated facing left on a rock, wearing a flowing gown and holding a liberty cap on a pole in her right hand and a shield inscribed LIBERTY in her left; thirteen six-pointed stars surround the field. Applied at the top of the field is the Danish royal counterstamp: a crowned royal cypher FRVII (for King Frederik VII of Denmark), punched onto the coin during the revalidation of U.S. silver coinage for circulation in the Danish West Indies. The counterstamp also bears the date 1849, the year of Frederik VII's accession. |
