24 Skilling - Christian VI

Christian VI ruled Denmark-Norway from Copenhagen with little interest in Norwegian affairs specifically, but the 1730s saw a renewed effort to supply the Norwegian market with silver coinage adequate for domestic commerce — the kingdom had long suffered a shortage of mid-denomination silver. The 24 skilling sat at a practical transactional level, above the copper small change but below the larger speciedaler fractions, and was produced only across these two years before the type was discontinued.

The .562 fineness reflects the debased standard common to Scandinavian subsidiary silver of the period, well below the speciedaler's higher alloy.
