Beschrijving keerzijde The denomination I SKILLING DANSKE is inscribed in three lines at the centre of the coin within a raised circular border, flanked above by two rosette ornaments and below by the mint master's initials C♥W, with the date 1740 immediately above. The surrounding exergual legend reads DE DANSK·AMERIC·EYLAND·KAAB·MYNT (the mint of the Danish American Islands), distributed around the periphery in capital letters separated by pellets and a floral stop at the top. The overall design is bold and legible, typical of utilitarian colonial copper coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Christian VI authorized a dedicated copper coinage for the Danish West Indian colonies in the 1730s, a rare administrative acknowledgment that the plantation economy of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John required its own circulating money rather than the chaotic mix of Spanish, Dutch, and miscellaneous European coin that merchants were already accepting by weight and convention. The 1 Skilling of 1740 is among the earliest pieces struck specifically for this colonial circuit.

KM#2 is notoriously poorly struck on planchets that were often irregular in thickness, and genuine examples almost never show full, even surfaces — not from circulation, but from the mint itself.
