| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the denomination and issuing authority in a multi-line inscription across the central field, reading II / SKIL / LING DA / NSK, indicating two Danish skillings. This central text block is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, separated by dots and abbreviated, reads NOR · VAN · GOT · REX · 1667, identifying the king as ruler of Norway, the Wends, and the Goths, with the date 1667 incorporated into the outer legend. A toothed rim borders the entire reverse, consistent with hammered production. The typography and layout are typical of late-reign issues of Frederik III struck at Copenhagen or Christiania. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III inherited the Danish throne in 1648 under terms deliberately engineered by the Council of the Realm to constrain royal power — yet by 1660 he had outmaneuvered the nobility entirely, engineering a coup that established hereditary absolute monarchy in Denmark-Norway. The small billon skilling denominations struck across his reign funded a state in near-constant fiscal crisis, particularly during the catastrophic wars with Sweden of the 1650s, when Charles X Gustav's forces occupied Jutland and briefly threatened Copenhagen itself.
The .281 fineness of this issue reflects chronic debasement pressure rather than any single monetary reform — Danish billon coinage of this period was adjusted repeatedly as silver supplies tightened.
