| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse depicts a crowned and armored king standing facing in a ship, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield bearing heraldic devices in his left, in the tradition of the English noble type. The ship's hull and rigging are rendered with fine hammered detail characteristic of early sixteenth-century Scandinavian goldsmithing. A royal crown surmounts the king's figure, with the hull of the vessel occupying the lower portion of the field. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic lettering, reads CHRISTIERNVS DEI GRACIA REX DACIE SVECIE AC NORVEG, identifying the issuer as Christian II, by the Grace of God King of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian II struck these nobles in direct imitation of the English gold noble, a deliberate diplomatic and commercial signal during his push to dominate Baltic trade and reassert Danish prestige against the Hanseatic League. The type was short-lived — Christian's reign grew increasingly tyrannical, culminating in the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520 and his eventual deposition in 1523.
Farouk reference Fr#6 places this among the rarest Danish gold issues. Surviving examples are almost entirely cabinet pieces; the type saw little meaningful circulation.
