The mint marks on these coins are the crown for Copenhagen and the globe (or 'globus cruciger') which looks like a circle with a little cross on top for Altona. The mint marks on these coins are very small, and are found on the side with the large 'F VII' monogram, just below the empty space between the F and V, between the smallest leaves of the wreath.
