| Beschrijving voorzijde | A royal crown of Denmark depicted in high relief at the centre of the coin, rendered in a stylised Gothic manner with three visible fleurons and beaded ornamentation atop the band. The crown is set within a raised inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded or striated outer border following the irregular flan edge. The design is uniface in bracteate fashion, with the image struck through to the reverse, and no legend or inscription is present. The overall composition is spare and emblematic, characteristic of Danish small coinage of the early fifteenth century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate-style coin, the reverse displays the incuse mirror impression of the obverse type, showing the crown of Denmark in negative relief. The surface is undecorated and bears no independent design, legend, or border, consistent with the single-die hammered technique employed for this denomination. The flan is thin and irregularly shaped, with natural surface patination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erik of Pomerania inherited the Danish throne through his great-aunt Margaret I, who effectively governed in his name until her death in 1412 and almost certainly oversaw monetary policy during the early part of this coin's issue window. The skærv — Denmark's smallest denomination — was a fractional pfennig-type struck to facilitate petty commerce in a Scandinavian economy still heavily dependent on local market transactions rather than bullion exchange.
At 0.14 g, losses through clipping and wear were essentially total after even brief circulation, which explains why surviving examples at any quality are genuinely uncommon.
