The first is a 25 øre, not rare or unusual but not in circulation for some years. I just kept this years ago from pockect change.

This one you won't find very often anymore

Thanks Shep, but for reason my first phot turned blue on the edge. It is not blue at all.

Nice coins, Wayne!

It seems to me that 25 ore were many varities , isn't it? BTW, do you know why is so spread -the central hole in small denominations of most Scandinavian coins?

And second question for you, do you have all 4 Norwegian shipcoins (from 1901 I mean) or som eof them so rare that even at home you can't get them.

Sorry for plenty of questions

Hi Newbie,

I dig that 4 skilling! Two questions:
Are the crossed hammers below the date decorative of a mintmark or mintmaster symbol?
I thought Norway only became an independent kingdom around 1905 or so. Was Carl XIV Johan a stand alone Norrweigian king or also king of Sweden or Denmark?

Thanks,

Once again, interesting coins, Newbie! Did you get the 4 Skilling from pocket change too?
