Frederik V's reign saw a deliberate reorganization of Danish silver coinage in the 1740s, with the Type 2 krone distinguishing itself from the earlier Type 1 through modifications to the die arrangement — a change driven by the mint's ongoing effort to standardize production under mintmaster Anthon Wilhelm Gøbel. The 1747 date places this coin squarely in the period before the founding of the Asiatic Company's renewed trade push, when Danish silver was flowing through Copenhagen in sufficient quantities to support large crown-sized strikes.
Hede's distinction between the two types remains the authoritative reference for collectors, and genuine die-state differences make attributing worn examples genuinely difficult.
