| Reverse description | Central design features the denomination II SKILLING DANSKE in three lines of bold upright lettering enclosed within a raised inner circle, flanked on either side of the numeral II by small rosette ornaments. The date 1740 appears below, punctuated by dots, with the mint master's mark C♥W beneath. A circular peripheral legend in capital letters reads DE DANSK · AMERIC · EYLND · KAAB · MYNT, identifying this coin as currency of the Danish American Islands mint, separated by dot stops. The overall layout is clear and typographic, with no figural imagery, typical of colonial subsidiary copper coinage of the period. |
