| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the crowned rampant lion of Denmark occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with characteristic boldness typical of late 17th-century hammered coinage. The lion faces left, its tail curled upward, rendered in a stylised heraldic manner consistent with the Danish royal arms. A beaded border frames the central device, beyond which the peripheral legend runs along the outer rim. The overall design is characteristic of the small billon issues produced at Christiania for circulation throughout the Dano-Norwegian realm. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian V came to the Danish throne in 1670 and almost immediately set about reforming a coinage system badly degraded by his father's wars — particularly the ruinous conflicts with Sweden that had stripped the treasury through the 1650s and 1660s. The skilling denominations issued in his first years reflect the lingering billon standards of a monarchy still rebuilding fiscal credibility.
This short three-year emission was superseded as Christian's monetary reforms took hold later in the decade.
