| Additional information |
Erik Menved's reign coincided with a prolonged and ruinous conflict with the Danish church and a succession of mortgaged territories that left the crown financially exhausted. By his death in 1319, Erik had pledged so much of Denmark to German creditors that his brother and successor, Christoffer II, inherited a kingdom barely sovereign in any practical sense. The billon penning issues of this period reflect that fiscal pressure directly — debased coinage was one of the few remaining levers available to a crown stripped of land revenue.
North Jutland issues are distinguished from contemporary Danish regional strikings by mint attribution work done primarily through Hauberg's corpus, which remains the foundational reference for this series.
