1 Krone - Frederik III Victory over Swedish army - Type3

This krone commemorates the Danish defeat of a Swedish force crossing the frozen straits during the winter of 1658–59 — one of the more remarkable episodes of the Second Northern War. Swedish troops under Karl X Gustav had marched infantry and cavalry across the ice of the Little Belt and Great Belt to threaten Copenhagen itself, a maneuver that shocked Europe. The Danes rallied, and localized counterattacks gave Frederik III enough political capital to commission commemorative coinage, even as the broader war remained far from settled.

Three distinct types exist for this issue; this is the third, distinguished by die characteristics documented under Hede 98.
