| Additional information |
Christian IV's final years were defined by catastrophic military overreach. The Torstenson War — Denmark's disastrous intervention against Sweden in 1643–45 — ended with the Treaty of Brömsebro and the permanent cession of Gotland, Ösel, and Halland, stripping the kingdom of Baltic leverage it would never recover. This small fractional issue dates precisely to that humiliation, struck as the treasury absorbed the costs of defeat.
The Legend type II and bust type II classification distinguishes this from the earlier variant by die revision, a detail Lange's numbering captures across the 51b–51Ab range.
