On the tip of the pyramid the radiant Eye of God is coming out of clouds. At pyramid`s right a pile of Swedish flags, weapons and trophies (partly with the crowned initial of the Swedish King Charles XII) lying abandoned on the ground; above them an arm coming out of clouds holds a couple of lightnings. In the background, left of pyramid, is the city of Altona, devoured by the fire. Below, in exergue, five lines of text. Another legend encircle all.
