Full Version: Any idea what it is?
Scandinavian coins aren't my field but this is one of the coins that popped in with the pile of extreme corroded Russian coins. It is definately not Russian as you can see the denomination seems to be 1/2 skilling. I can't quite tell what the monogram is so I'm guessing Danish at the moment. If you can give me an idea what era it is from, that will be even better. Thanks in advance!
My best guess is that your coin is a 1/2 skilling with the monogram of Frederick V of Denmark, as your monogram doesn't show a laurel wreath.
If it were frederick IV, the monogram had to show a laurel wreath.
