| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a four-line inscription in the field reading the denomination and issuing authority, with the date 1673 in the lower portion flanked by the Kongsberg mint mark — a crossed hammer and pick above a crown — identifying the place of striking. The lettering is bold and upright in a plain field without border ornamentation other than a faint beaded rim, typical of the utilitarian style of Danish billon coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian V came to the Danish throne in 1670 inheriting a kingdom financially gutted by the Scanian War's predecessor conflicts and the ruinous terms of the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde. The billon skilling denominations of his early reign were struck in response to a chronic shortage of small change — a problem that had plagued Danish commerce for decades and that the Copenhagen mint addressed with inconsistent alloy composition throughout the 1670s.
The .406 fineness places this piece at the lower end of billon coinage, closer to copper than to silver in practical terms.
