| Aanvullende informatie |
These pieces were struck at the height of the Second Northern War, specifically during the period when Swedish forces under Charles X Gustav had crossed the frozen straits and marched on Copenhagen itself — a military feat so unexpected it forced Denmark to the catastrophic Peace of Roskilde in February 1658, ceding roughly a third of its territory. Frederick III needed functioning small silver for a city under existential threat.
The KM#42.1 designation distinguishes this from a closely related variety; collector differentiation between the two typically hinges on mintmaster marks.
