Definition

• A variety of the double Krone or piece of eight Marks struck by Frederick III of Denmark is so called. It was issued to commemorate the unsuccessful attempt of the Swedes to take Copenhagen on February 11, 1659.

  The obverse has the King's initials crowned, with the inscriptions DOMINVS PROVIDEBIT and EBENEZER, the latter word referring to the memorial stone mentioned in I Samuel (iv. 1 and vii. 12).

  On the reverse is a hand grasping at a crown which is being severed from the arm by a sword. The motto reads SOLI DEO GLORIA.
