Comment
This type matches exactly that of Hede catalogue n° 131 type A (check it here: http://www.danskmoent.dk/fr/f3h131.htm).
In Krause this skilling has same reference of Hede type 125 that looks similar to 2 skilling km#158.
Hede are divided because are two different types.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Skilling Dansk - Frederik III (Shield type IIc) 1652-1653 coin from Denmark is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. Specifically, the coin contains 0.156 silver, which is a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of its time. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, and is highly sought after by collectors today.
