High-relief bust of King Frederik IV facing right, wearing a long flowing wig, draped cloak, and a laureate wreath partially visible in the hair, with the collar of the Order of the Elephant visible at the truncation. The upper legend arcs above the effigy, and the royal title is inscribed in three lines within a recessed rectangular cartouche at the base, with the engraver's initials P.B. and a small elephant mark below the bust. |

Central composition featuring an obelisk or trophy monument bearing three crowned heraldic shields and a royal cypher, flanked by scattered spoils of war including cannons, scaling ladders, drums, standards, and siege equipment. A tent camp is visible to the left and the fortress of Frederiksten on a rocky promontory to the right, with rays of divine light emanating from above. The inscription on the pedestal reads in three lines, a circular legend runs along the upper rim, and a six-line commemorative inscription occupies the lower exergue, all within a plain raised border. |
