| Reversbeschreibung | Central denomination inscription arranged in multiple horizontal lines within a beaded inner circle: the Roman numeral II above SKILL / IN·DAN / SKE, denoting the value of two skillings in Danish currency. Flanking asterisks or rosette stops punctuate the numeral. The outer legend, running continuously around the circumference in Latin capitals, records the regnal titles of the king as ruler of Norway, the Wends and the Goths, with the date 1618 incorporated into the legend. The overall composition is typical of the utilitarian hammered billon subsidiary coinage produced under Christian IV. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Christian IV's monetary reforms of the early seventeenth century produced a chaotic proliferation of small billon denominations, often struck at multiple mints with inconsistent alloy quality. The KM#16.2 variety is distinguished by the inclusion of the regnal year in the legend — a detail that sounds minor but was administratively significant at a time when Danish mint contracts were awarded annually and accountability for metal fineness was tied directly to dated production runs.
By 1618, the silver content of Danish small change had been quietly degraded for decades. The .281 fineness of this issue was not exceptional — it was the floor.
