| Reverse description | A detailed battle scene depicting the surrender of Stade. In the foreground, a kneeling figure — likely a personification of the defeated Swedish garrison — proffers the keys of the city toward King Frederik IV, who is shown on horseback at right accompanied by mounted officers. Heraldic shields of the Duchy of Bremen-Verden and Stade lie in the lower field near the kneeling figure. In the background, the fortified city of Stade is shown under bombardment, with the Danish army encamped in ordered ranks before its walls. The legend STADA EXPUGNATA arcs across the upper field, and a two-line inscription with the date occupies the lower exergue area. |
