| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination is boldly inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field: the numeral '16' above 'SKILLING', with the abbreviation 'R.M.' (Rigsmønt) below. These legends are enclosed within a wreath formed by two crossed oak branches, rendered with naturalistic detail including lobed leaves and acorns. The branches are tied at the base with a flowing ribbon bow. The reeded rim frames the composition, and the overall design is clean and typographically precise, characteristic of mid-19th century Danish minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 16 skilling rigsmønt denomination emerged directly from Denmark's currency reform of 1854, which rationalized a chaotic monetary system that had limped along since the state bankruptcy of 1813. Frederik VII's government tied the new rigsmønt to a decimal-adjacent structure — 96 skilling to the rigsdaler — that was itself a transitional compromise, designed to ease the eventual shift toward full decimalization that would come with the krone in 1875.
The .500 fineness reflects deliberate debasement relative to earlier Danish silver coinage, a lingering consequence of mid-century fiscal strain. Production ran only three years before the denomination was effectively superseded.
