| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination and date inscribed on five lines within a beaded inner circle, with the text reading 8 SKILLING DANSKE followed by the year. The surrounding exergual legend continues the royal titulature in abbreviated Latin, identifying the king as ruler of Norway, the Wends, and the Goths. A mintmark appears at the conclusion of the outer legend, attributing the coin to the Copenhagen Mint. The overall layout reflects the characteristic typographic style of mid-16th-century Scandinavian hammered silver coinage. |
