| Additional information |
Christian V came to the Danish throne in 1670 and almost immediately pursued a systematic overhaul of royal imagery and ceremonial coinage. The ornate monogram type reflects the new king's deliberate effort to distinguish his issues from those of Frederick III — a visual and political break executed through the engravers rather than through proclamation. Denmark's silver coinage of this period drew from Kongsberg mine output in Norway, then still a Danish possession, giving these pieces a supply chain that would collapse within a generation as ore yields declined.
