maridvnvm Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Its a 12 skilling from Denmark, dated 1721. On the front "DOMINUS MIHI ADIUTOR" (the lord is my helper), the motto of Frederick IV (1699-1730), king of Denmark. Rev: XII SKILLING DANSKE 1721 H*C*M (=Henning Christopher Meyer mintmaster under Christian V and Frederick IV) Kopenhagen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maridvnvm Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 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, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
