| Additional information |
Christian VI's early reign coinage was shaped by Denmark's post-Great Northern War financial exhaustion. The crown had spent decades servicing war debt, and silver fineness on domestic issues was repeatedly adjusted downward as a result — the .562 standard on this denomination reflects exactly that fiscal pressure rather than any metallurgical preference.
The two-year production window of 1731–32 was not extended, likely because the denomination proved awkward in everyday commerce relative to the established skilling fractions already in circulation.
