| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the crowned Norwegian lion rampant, depicted holding a halbert axe, set within an oval cartouche surmounted by a royal crown. The lion device is rendered in the heraldic tradition typical of late 17th-century Scandinavian coinage. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central motif, separated from the device by a plain inner border. The coin exhibits a milled or grained rim, characteristic of the period's mechanically produced issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III issued these small billon pieces during the immediate aftermath of the wars with Sweden that had bled Denmark-Norway nearly to insolvency. The Treaty of Roskilde in 1658 had stripped the kingdom of its remaining Scandinavian territories, and the monarchy was struggling to maintain even a functioning monetary supply. Coins of this denomination and composition circulated hard in a cash-starved economy.
The 1667–1668 date range corresponds to the final year of Frederik III's reign — he died in February 1670 — and production was likely wound down as the new Christian V administration reorganized the mint apparatus.
