| Additional information |
The denneng — a small Russian silver denomination — was extensively imitated by Danish minting authorities in the early seventeenth century primarily to facilitate trade along Baltic commercial routes, where Russian wire money circulated alongside local coinage. These Danish-struck pieces copied the weight and fabric of genuine Muscovite issues closely enough to pass in everyday exchange.
KG#749 places this firmly among documented Scandinavian imitative coinages, a category that remains incompletely catalogued.
