| Additional information |
Christian IV struck these pieces during the closing phase of his disastrous intervention in the Thirty Years' War, a campaign that ended with the Treaty of Lübeck in 1629 and forced Denmark's effective withdrawal from German Protestant politics. The timing is not incidental — war finance drove much of the Danish crown's gold coinage output in this period, and the 1628–1629 window falls precisely as the king was negotiating terms of defeat after the crushing losses at Lutter and the subsequent Imperial occupation of Jutland.
KM#111 is documented across both years but with no clean mintage split between them.
