| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination, rendered in abbreviated Latin text, is arranged across three lines within a central inner circle. A peripheral legend in Latin encircles the whole, recording the king's additional royal titles along with the date and mintmark placed at the conclusion of the inscription. Several legend and value-text variants are documented across the years of issue, reflecting different workshop practices at the Copenhagen mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III inherited a kingdom financially gutted by the Torstenson War and the subsequent Treaty of Roskilde negotiations, and his billon skilling issues of the early 1650s reflect a mint system under sustained pressure. The shield type sequence — running through at least three die configurations across a short window — suggests the Copenhagen mint was adjusting working dies more frequently than was typical for the denomination, likely a consequence of high-volume striking on debased flans that accelerated die wear.
The .281 fineness puts this squarely in territory where silver content was almost incidental to face value — a monetary compromise that would deepen through the decade.
