1 Skilling - Christian VII

Christian VII was nominally king but functionally absent — declared legally insane in 1771, he had already ceded effective control of the Danish-Norwegian state to Johann Friedrich Struensee by the time production of this issue closed. Struensee issued over 1,000 cabinet decrees in eighteen months before his arrest and execution in 1772. The skilling denominations struck in these years circulated through a kingdom governed, briefly, by a royal physician.
