| Additional information |
Frederik I of Denmark claimed Norway as a subordinate kingdom, and Norwegian coinage of his reign was struck sporadically and in small volume under royal mandate from Copenhagen rather than any coherent domestic monetary policy. The Oslo mint — then operating under the name Christiania's predecessor — was neither well-supplied nor consistently supervised, which explains the irregular fabric and variable silver quality documented across survivors of this type. Brekke's census remains the authoritative tally, and confirmed examples are genuinely scarce.
