This specimen was lot 10272 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for €168 (about US$175). The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Skilling, 1676. Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC MS-61. From the L. E. Bruun Collection." This type was struck 1676-77 and 1680-81 and is fairly common. This date has a clasp mintmark. The SCWC states the specification as 0.29 g, 0.875 fine silver, which doesn't seem right; we are using Numista's numbers below. One skilling was 1/96 speciedaler or 1/64 krone.
