| Additional information |
Christian V inherited a Norway still absorbing the consequences of the 1660 absolute monarchy coup, and the speciedaler coinage of his reign was tied directly to that centralizing project — revenue extraction from Norwegian silver mines at Kongsberg funded both the crown's ambitions and its wars. The Kongsberg mint, established specifically to process that ore, struck these dalers under chronic pressure to maintain output through the 1680s.
The Rønning 112a and 112b distinction reflects die variation between the 1688–1689 and 1690 emissions, a granularity that matters to specialists working this series.
