| Additional information |
Frederik VI had assumed full royal authority only in 1808 after decades as crown prince regent, and the early years of his reign were financially brutal — Denmark had allied with Napoleon, and the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 and subsequent naval blockade strangled the economy. Small copper coinage of this period circulated hard and was often supplemented by emergency issues. The "straight neck-cut" designation distinguishes this die variety from the curved-cut version produced concurrently, a distinction that matters more than it might appear given the compressed two-year window of production.
