| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a large royal crown surmounted by a fleur-de-lis finial, rendered in bold relief characteristic of medieval hammered coinage. The crown features a decorated base band and prominent foliate ornaments rising from its upper rim. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin letters reads ERICVS REX D S n, identifying the issuer as King Eric. The overall composition fills the irregular flan with the crown occupying the majority of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erik of Pomerania was crowned king of the Kalmar Union at Kalmar in 1397, uniting Denmark, Norway, and Sweden under a single monarch — the only time these three kingdoms shared a ruler by formal treaty. His gold coinage struck at Lund, then the archiepiscopal seat and most important ecclesiastical city in Scandinavia, reflects his deliberate effort to project royal authority through a mint with institutional prestige rather than purely commercial significance.
Erik was deposed by the Danish council in 1439 after decades of misrule and prolonged war with the Holstein counts and the Hanseatic League, which severely disrupted Baltic trade and drained royal revenues. Surviving gold from his reign is scarce for precisely that reason.
