| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian IV established the Helsingør (Elsinore) mint specifically to exploit the extraordinary revenue stream generated by the Sound Toll — the compulsory dues levied on every vessel passing through the Øresund strait. At its peak, this toll accounted for roughly two-thirds of the Danish crown's total income, and having a mint on-site at Kronborg Castle allowed that silver to be turned directly into coin. The 1608 date places this piece early in what would become one of the longest and most ambitious reigns in Danish history.
The Helsingør mint operated only intermittently and was subordinate to the Copenhagen establishment, which kept output relatively limited.
