| Additional information |
Frederik V's speciedaler coinage of the mid-1760s was produced under the direction of mint master Nicolai Aagaard, whose initials appear on the type. Denmark at this point was financing the aftermath of costly involvement in the Seven Years' War periphery and managing the monetary demands of an increasingly strained royal treasury. The Type I designation distinguishes this emission from a subsequent revision — differences traceable to die workmanship rather than specification changes.
The Davenport reference places this cleanly within the broader Northern European crown-sized silver tradition of the period. Surviving examples are not common in grades above Fine.
