| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device consists of the elaborately interlaced royal cypher of King Christian V — a crowned double C-monogram interwoven with Roman numeral V — rendered in high relief against a plain field. The cypher is surmounted by a large ornate crown with cross finial, its arches decorated with pearls and acanthus scrollwork. No peripheral legend appears on this face; the design fills the flan to the milled border. The bold baroque style of the monogram is characteristic of late 17th-century Danish coinage produced at the Kongsberg mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian V's monetary reforms of the 1680s were driven partly by the fiscal strain of rebuilding Danish military capacity after the humiliating terms of the 1679 Treaty of Fontainebleau, which had forced Denmark to return its Swedish conquests despite winning on the battlefield. Small billon denominations like this one bore the brunt of repeated alloy adjustments as the crown squeezed revenue from seigniorage. The .344 fineness places this squarely among the debased issues of the period rather than anything approaching a silver coin in practical terms.
The two-year window of 1686–1687 for this type is narrow enough that die marriages documented in Rønning are relatively few.
