This was one of a series of gold klippes struck in eight dalers (Fr-44), six dalers (Fr-45), four dalers (Fr-46) and three dalers (Fr-47). The experiment was not repeated and all are very rare. Christian IV (r. 1588-1648) had a long but not particularly successful reign. His war with Sweden and his intervention in the Thirty Years War were costly and brought little gain.
