| Additional information |
Christian III consolidated Danish coinage in the years following the Count's War and his forced introduction of Lutheranism as the state religion in 1536 — a political rupture that reshaped royal iconography on Danish silver almost immediately. The skilling denominations of this period were workhorses of Baltic trade, circulating alongside Low Countries and North German issues in the busy ports of Øresund, where Danish toll revenue was at its peak.
Hede 9 is not a rare type, but survivors in presentable condition are genuinely scarce — decades of active commerce wore these thin.
