背面描述	A three-masted sailing ship depicted in full profile at sea, shown sailing to the left with rigging, masts, and hull rendered in fine engraved detail, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The date 1767 appears in the lower segment of the inner circle, below a horizontal baseline representing the waterline. The surrounding legend, separated from the inner circle by a beaded border, identifies the denomination, currency, and colonial mint authority.

附加信息	The Danish West Indies operated under a chronic small-change shortage throughout the mid-eighteenth century, with Spanish milled dollars dominating actual commerce while locally issued fractions struggled to circulate at all. This 6 skilling was struck under Christian VII, who had taken the throne in 1766 at age seventeen and whose mental incapacity — likely schizophrenia — meant effective governance passed quickly to others, including eventually Johann Friedrich Struensee, whose brief political dominance ended at the executioner's block in 1772. KM#11 is among the scarcer colonial Danish issues of the period, with surviving examples showing heavy circulation wear — the islands used coins hard.
