2 Ducats - Christian IV Hebræermønt

The "Hebræermønt" designation identifies this as one of the Jewish contribution coins — struck specifically to document a forced levy imposed on Denmark's Jewish community during the later years of the Thirty Years' War, as Christian IV sought emergency funding following the catastrophic Battle of Colding in 1644. The coins were minted in multiple denominations from gold surrendered under duress, effectively converting community wealth into royal coinage while recording the transaction in the piece itself.

Surviving examples are rare by any measure. The date range reflects production across several treasury actions rather than continuous minting.
