| 正面描述 | 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. |

These pieces began life as Spanish colonial 2 reales or similar silver coinage already circulating in the Danish Caribbean. Facing a chronic shortage of official specie on St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, Danish colonial authorities authorized counterstamping existing foreign silver rather than waiting on shipments from Copenhagen. The crowned "F7" stamp — applied under Frederik VII's reign — gave the piece official Danish West Indian legal tender status at 50 cents in the local currency system.
Host coin condition varies dramatically across survivors, since the counterstamp was applied to whatever came to hand.
