2 Mark - Christian V

Christian V's 1687 Norwegian 2 Mark belongs to a consolidation of Dano-Norwegian coinage that followed his landmark Danske Lov of 1683 and the corresponding Norske Lov of 1687 — the same year this piece was struck. The unified legal codes reshaped royal administration across both kingdoms, and the revised coinage program was part of that broader assertion of absolute monarchical authority formalized after Christian V took the throne in 1670.

Rønning's variety 119d distinguishes this from other 1687 emissions by die characteristics documented in the Norwegian specialist literature. Worth confirming against Skaare 624 for attribution confidence before cataloging further.
