| Additional information |
Norway in 1809–1810 was still formally under Danish rule, with Frederik VI having assumed the Danish throne in 1808. The Napoleonic Wars had severed British naval supply lines to Denmark-Norway, triggering a severe copper shortage that paradoxically coincided with emergency copper coinage issues — metal sourced in part from confiscated church bells and requisitioned hardware.
KM#275 was struck at the Kongsberg mint, which struggled with inconsistent planchet quality throughout this period. The union dissolved in 1814 at Kiel, making all Danish-authority Norwegian issues from this window historically terminal.
