Hvid - John I Aalborg mint

John I came to the Danish throne in 1481 after a prolonged succession dispute, and his minting activity at Aalborg reflects the broader decentralization of Danish coinage in this period — regional mints like Aalborg operated with considerable autonomy, producing small silver pieces whose weight and fineness varied noticeably across the thirty-year span of his reign. The hvid denomination itself was a workhorse of Scandinavian petty commerce, directly descended from earlier Baltic monetary conventions.

Aalborg's mint output under John I is poorly documented in surviving records, making die studies the primary tool for dating individual strikes within the 1483–1513 window.
