| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this hammered copper sterling displays a faint cross design in the central field, consistent with the standard reverse type for Danish kobbersterlings of the Erik of Pomerania period. The surface is heavily corroded and worn, with the flan showing significant metal degradation typical of base copper coinage from this era. Any peripheral legend, if originally present, is now largely illegible due to wear. The cross arms extend toward the rim, dividing the field into quadrants, a common heraldic device on medieval Scandinavian petty coinage. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-hammered production method employed at Danish mints in the early fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erik of Pomerania introduced copper coinage to Denmark under fiscal pressure, as the chronic shortage of silver forced a degradation of the small change supply that the sterling type had previously filled in billon. These copper sterlingsare among the earliest copper coins struck in Scandinavian monetary history. The issue is closely tied to Erik's aggressive taxation policies — particularly the Sound Tolls he imposed on Baltic shipping from 1429 — which generated enough political backlash to end in his deposition by the Danish Council in 1439.
