| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central crowned royal monogram or stylized lettering in Gothic uncial script, rendered in high relief against a flat field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend, reading CRISTIERN REX D., runs along the outer circumference in uncial characters, partially separated by small pellet stops. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Danish hammered coinage, with irregular flan and bold, somewhat crude letter forms. The crowns and decorative elements flanking the central device reflect the heraldic artistic conventions of the mid-fifteenth century Danish royal mint output. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian I came to the Danish throne in 1448 partly through dynastic accident — the Oldenburg line was chosen over competing claimants largely to resolve the political deadlock following Christopher of Bavaria's death without an heir. His reign was chronically cash-strapped; he famously pawned the Orkney and Shetland Islands to Scotland in 1468 as part of his daughter Margaret's dowry because he simply could not raise the funds any other way. Malmö, then a Danish city and one of the crown's most productive mints, struck these small silver hvid throughout that financially precarious reign.
