| Additional information |
Christian IX's reign saw Denmark still absorbing the shock of the 1864 war with Prussia and Austria, in which the country lost Schleswig-Holstein and roughly a third of its territory. The decimal øre system these coins inhabit had only been introduced in 1874, replacing the old rigsdaler coinage — this issue is among the earliest struck under that reformed monetary framework.
The series runs across three decades and two catalog varieties, reflecting minor die modifications over the long production run at the Copenhagen mint.
