| Beschrijving keerzijde | A short, broad pattée-style cross occupies the central field, its thick arms nearly reaching the coin's edge. In the upper two quadrants, inward-facing crescents are positioned to either side of the cross head, while single pellets occupy the lower two quadrants. The design is bold and deeply struck relative to the coin's small module, with no surrounding legend, consistent with the anonymous bracteate-influenced coinage of early fourteenth-century Denmark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christopher II's reign was repeatedly interrupted — he was driven from the throne twice by creditors and nobles, spending years as a king in name only while Danish territory was parceled out to German princes and bishops as loan collateral. The small silver issues attributed to his reign were struck under conditions of near-total financial collapse, with the crown so indebted to Holstein counts that large portions of the kingdom were effectively mortgaged. Christopher died in 1332 leaving Denmark without a king for eight years, an interregnum with no parallel in Danish history.
