Gotland's monetary autonomy during Christian I's reign was perpetually contested. The island had passed to Denmark by treaty in 1457 after Christian pledged it as collateral to Sweden — a debt never repaid — leaving its civic coinage in a prolonged administrative limbo that makes precise attribution of individual Visby issues genuinely difficult. Hauberg 91 distinguishes this type by the absence of the flag on the walking ram, a small but diagnostically critical difference from related varieties struck across the same period.
