8 Skilling Dansk - Frederik IV Type II

Frederik IV's Denmark was deep in the Great Northern War during this window, with Swedish forces under Charles XII posing a persistent threat to Danish territory and treasury alike. The Type II designation distinguishes a modified die arrangement from the earlier emission — a practical response to production inconsistencies at the Copenhagen mint rather than any policy change. These years saw significant strain on silver supplies, which likely accounts for the notably debased alloy relative to earlier Danish silver coinage.
