1 Ducat - Christian VI Christianborg, type I

Christian VI came to the Danish throne in 1730 following the death of Frederik IV, and the Christianborg ducats of his early reign were struck at the Copenhagen mint to mark the new administration. The "type I" designation distinguishes this issue from later variants produced under the same king — differences in die execution and mintmaster marks separate the types, though both circulated in the same commercial channels serving Danish Baltic trade.

Christianborg Palace itself burned in 1794, and the mint records housed there were among the losses, leaving some die sequence questions for this series unresolved.
