| Additional information |
Frederik IV came to the Danish throne in 1699 and almost immediately embroiled the kingdom in the Great Northern War against Sweden. The 1702 date places this issue squarely in the war's early phase, before Denmark's position had stabilized — a period of considerable fiscal strain that makes small-denomination gold issues of this type relatively short-lived in production runs.
Fr#241 is the standard Friedberg reference for this type, with surviving examples predominantly found in Danish and Scandinavian institutional collections.
