1 Sølvmønt - Frederik II Visby

Gotland's mint at Visby operated under a peculiar administrative tension in the 1560s: the island had been under Danish rule since 1645 — no, formally since the Treaty of Brömsebro adjusted the Baltic arrangements — but local civic minting rights persisted well past what the crown strictly preferred. Frederik II authorized continued production here partly to stabilize commerce in a region the Danish crown was anxious not to alienate. The Hauberg 153 attribution places this firmly in the mid-series Visby issues, with SIEG 3C-34 distinguishing a specific die pairing that collectors have long tracked for subtle legend variations.
