2 Skilling - Frederik IV Pattern

Pattern coinage from Frederik IV's reign was never struck for circulation — these pieces were produced to demonstrate proposed designs or compositions to the Crown, and gold examples in particular represent mint submissions that almost certainly never left the royal cabinet. The 1720 date places this squarely in the middle of the Great Northern War's aftermath, when Denmark was restructuring its monetary output following years of wartime financial strain.

Hede 7B is among the rarer pattern attributions in Danish numismatics. Few examples are recorded.
