| Additional information |
Danish Estonia's monetary situation was administratively awkward from the start — the territory conquered by Valdemar II in 1219 was never fully integrated into Danish monetary infrastructure, leaving local ecclesiastical and secular authorities to issue thin bracteate deniers of purely regional utility. These coins circulated almost exclusively within the confines of Reval and its immediate hinterland, rarely traveling further.
At 0.12 g, the fabric is so thin that surviving examples are frequently bent or cracked, which makes the Haljak II#4 attribution dependent on fragmentary specimens more often than not.
