Definition

• The Scandinavian equivalent of the Schilling. It occurs in Denmark under Christopher III (1440-1448) and was continued to comparatively modern times. Its value fluctuated but usually it was computed at ninety-six to the Rigsdaler. In Sweden the Riksdaler was equal to forty- eight Skilling, and in Norway the Speciesdaler equalled one hundred and twenty Skilling.

  All of these countries also struck the Skilling in copper, which greatly varied in size and value.
