1 Penning - Christopher II Roskilde

Christopher II's reign was defined less by monetary policy than by political collapse — he was deposed twice, and for a period Denmark effectively ceased to exist as a functioning state, pawned in pieces to German creditors. Coinage from his Roskilde issues belongs to a monarchy operating under extreme fiscal duress, with minting rights fragmented across competing authorities.

MB#544 is a thin bracteate-influenced struck piece from a period when Danish royal coinage had not yet stabilized its weight standards after decades of debasement under the preceding reign.
