Hi,
I am not a world coin man being mainly focussed on ancients nowadays but as a youth I obtained a few world coins and never manged to attribute some of them. I was wondering if anyone could confirm the information I have already noted on the following coin and also provide any further information that they may be able to provide on it. I really know very little about it other than what is written on the scrap of paper it was with.

12 Skilling piece from Kongsberg,Norway under Frederik IV, dating to 1721.



I know it could probably do with some careful cleaning!

Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Martin

He he is correct. Is this coin for sale?

Many thanks for the Id. It seems that the scribbled not from my younger days was quite a way off.
I would certainly consider parting with it as my collecting focus has moved on.
Regards,
