| Additional information |
Pattern strikings from Den Kongelige Mønt in this period were produced to test proposed designs or compositions before official adoption, and white metal — typically a tin or antimony alloy — was a standard proofing medium precisely because it was cheap and struck cleanly at low pressure. The 1892 date places this piece in the run-up to the bronze 1 øre coinage that followed under Christian IX's continued reign.
Whether this specific pattern preceded a design change or a composition trial is not documented in open sources. The mintage of such pieces rarely exceeded a handful.
