| Obverse description | Detailed coastal scene in high relief depicting the capture of the Danish naval captain: a rowboat carrying uniformed figures approaches the shore, where a group of armed soldiers stands in formation on the left and a mounted horse with a handler appears in the foreground. Two sailing vessels are depicted in the background on the open sea, each labeled in the field — the larger full-rigged ship at upper left inscribed NIJADEN and the smaller vessel at upper right inscribed LÖWENÖRN. |
