DENMARK: Christian IV, 1588-1648, AR speciedaler, 1627, KM-101, Dav-3524, Hede-55A, Sieg-107.1, Copenhagen Mint issue, mintmaster NS, long portrait right with folded-sash and lace collar with three lines of text below, on a broad flan / crowned Danish arms at center on long cross, thirteen additional crests around, elephant below, NGC graded EF45. Christian IV was from the German house of Oldenburg and ruled Denmark and Norway for 59 years. His reign was not only the longest of the Danish monarchs, but also of all Scandinavian monarchs. He was a popular and active ruler, creating a stable and prosperous environment for his people. He did, however, involve Denmark in several wars, foremost of which was the Thirty Years' War. The country had to surrender some of its territories and bore a heavy cost to the economy due to the war. The other thing Christian IV is most noted for was changing the name of the capital city Oslo to Christiania, a name which was used until 1925.
