| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical scene depicting a mourning veiled female figure personifying Denmark, reclining to the left before a stepped pyramid, leaning on the Danish royal coat of arms and holding a scepter and crown. To her right, a mournful lion personifying Norway rests its head upon the ground. Behind them, an urn marked with the numeral 6 sits upon the pyramid, from which a phoenix rises amid flames toward a radiant sun above. The upper field bears the legend LUCTUS PUBLICUS, while a rectangular exergue below contains the date inscription in three lines. |
