The skilling (pronounced shilling in English) was the Scandinavian equivalent of the shilling.[1] It was used as a subdivision of the various kinds of currencies named rigsdaler in use throughout Scandinavia, including the Danish rigsdaler, the Norwegian rigsdaler, and the Swedish riksdaler.
Denmark
The skilling began to be minted in Denmark in the 1440s under Christopher of Bavaria. From 1625 to 1873, one Danish skilling (Script error: No such module "IPA".) was equivalent to <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄96 of a rigsdaler. King Christian IX abolished the rigsdaler and skilling in favor of the kroner and ører in 1873.[1][2] The word is still used colloquially for a small but unspecified amount of money ("lille skilling").
