CM11:  This plate features a central view of Fredensborg Palace; a crowned monogram formed of the back to back letters LR (Louise Regina); the inscription "Virtue and Fidelity"; and the dates of her reign, from her coronation in 1863 until her death in 1898.  If her husband Christian IX was the "Grandfather of Europe", then Queen Louise must have been the "Grandmother of Europe".
