背面描述	Four lines of text within a beaded inner circle reading .IIII. SKILLI / NG DAN / SKE, denoting the face value of four Danish skilling. The surrounding marginal legend, separated by the beaded circle, continues with NORV VAND GOTO REX followed by the date, identifying the king as ruler of Norway, the Wends, and the Goths. A clover-leaf mintmark for the Copenhagen Mint appears in the legend. The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Danish billon coinage, with text-only reverse composition.

附加信息	Christian IV's monetary reforms of the early seventeenth century created a chaotic transitional period in Danish coinage, during which billon issues of inconsistent fineness circulated alongside older, heavier silver. The 4 Skilling denomination sat in an awkward middle tier — too valuable for everyday small transactions, not substantial enough for merchant accounting — and saw heavy use in wage payments to crown laborers and garrison troops. KM#55.1 distinguishes this variety by the oval shield form, set apart from the later round-shield type struck concurrently at multiple mints during the same window.
