Gotland's monetary situation during Christian I's reign was tangled. The island had long maintained semi-autonomous minting rights under successive overlords, and the Visby mint continued striking its own hvid coinage even as Danish royal authority over Gotland remained contested following the 1449–1451 succession disputes. Christian never fully stabilized his finances — he pawned Iceland to Scotland in 1468 and Orkney and Shetland in 1469 — and peripheral mints like Visby operated with considerable independence as a result.
Hauberg 95 is among the more elusive attributions in the Gotlandic series.
