Comments

(en)

Ebenezer means help is stone. The term comes from the Bible, where it is mentioned in an episode following an Israelite victory over the Philistines: Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the Lord has helped us" (1 Book of Samuel, 7:12).

These "Ebenezer" coins celebrate the defeat of the Swedish Assault on Copenhagen on 11 February 1659. The reverse represents the hand of God emerging from a cloud, holding the sword of justice, severing a Swedish hand reaching for the Danish crown.

NOTE: Type 2 is very similar, but with cloud on obverse inside the circle.
