| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned Norwegian lion rampant, holding a battle-axe in its forepaw, occupies the central field facing left within a beaded inner circle. The denomination and issuing authority appear as a legend encircling the inner beaded ring, with the date incorporated into the inscription. A beaded border frames the outer rim. The heraldic lion is rendered in the bold, stylised manner characteristic of late 17th-century Danish-Norwegian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian V inherited a Norway still adjusting to the administrative reforms imposed after Denmark's catastrophic losses in the Second Northern War — the 1660 surrender of Scanian provinces had forced the Danish crown into radical fiscal restructuring, including a monetized tax system that demanded smaller silver denominations in genuine circulation. The 8 skilling filled that gap at a moment when the Norwegian monetary supply was chronically thin.
The .672 fineness reflects a deliberate reduction from earlier skilling coinage, a quiet debasement that passed without the public alarm that cruder interventions typically provoked.
