Comment
In Malmø there where 3 mintmasters during his reign: Henrik Dringenberg ap. 1455-1489, Hans Sever ap. 1489-1512 and Dines Blicher ap. 1512-1518.The coins from Malmø have 3 different mintmarks, one for each of the mintmasters, (se "Sieg's Møntkatalog Norden 2017" 48. ed. 2016 , p. 17. ISBN 978-87-92287-34-2)
But which mintmark belongs to which mintmaster ? I am not sure.
You can not distinguish between the years 1512, 1513 and 1514. But must use the mint marks to distinguish the coins.
"Shamrock" Mint mark
This Mint mark could belong to Henrik Dringenberg, because it is also used by King Hans predecessors on coins from Malmø.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Hvid - John I (Malmö) ND (1483-1513) from Denmark made of Silver weighing 0.64 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of King John I of Denmark, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Malmö, the city where the coin was minted. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, with only a limited number of coins minted during its production run.
