| Additional information |
Sven Estridsen spent much of his reign fighting Harald Hardrada of Norway for control of Denmark, and the coinage issued under his name reflects a kingdom frequently at war and administratively stretched. His issues are among the earliest Danish coins to show consistent minting under a single ruler's authority, though production was distributed across multiple mints whose output varied considerably in quality and weight adherence. Hauberg 17 is one of several distinct types attributed to his long reign — 1047 to 1074 by most reckonings — making precise dating within the type nearly impossible without hoard evidence.
