| Reverse description | A classically draped female figure, personifying Justice or Wisdom, seated facing right with her right hand raised to her chin in a contemplative gesture. To her left stands a tall oil lamp on a candlestick, and at her feet are attributes associated with Ørsted's career: a balance scale, a book, and an oar. Two lines of Roman numeral dates appear in the exergue, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of his career. |
