| Reversbeschreibung | Central device depicts a large three-masted sailing ship with full rigging, sails, and pennants flying, rendered in considerable detail and enclosed within a raised inner circle. The date appears in the exergue below the ship within the inner circle. The peripheral legend outside the inner circle reads the denomination and issuing authority in Latin, separated by dot stops. The ship motif alludes to the maritime trade that defined the Danish West Indies colonies, and is typical of colonial coinage of the period. |

The Danish West Indies maintained a persistent coinage problem throughout the mid-18th century: Spanish dollars and their fractional cuts dominated everyday trade on St. Croix and St. Thomas, and the Danish crown struggled to assert any practical monetary presence in its Caribbean colonies. The 24 Skilling issue of 1766–67 was a direct attempt to address this, struck under Christian VII — who had only just ascended the throne — at a fineness deliberately calibrated to compete with circulating Spanish silver.
KM#10 is notably scarce. The two-year window of production was short, and attrition in a tropical colonial economy was brutal on silver coinage of this size.
