    It appears to be from Denmark. Let me take a look at my krause.

  • Hello DessertRat!

    If you want some additional informations about this coin:

    link

    The letters "VBS" on the one side is for the "Coinmaster" of this period, Vilhelm Burchard Poulsen
    and the "GJ" on the back for the Gunnar Jensen, who designed the coin!
    The "heart" is the mintmark for Copenhagen.
    On the back you can see the monogram of the King Frederik VIII

    By the way, very nice coin! image

    Scandinavian and US coins are my pleasure!
  • Thanks Eric. It actually looks very nice in person. The scanner couldn't get a good contrast off the coin. It is in very good condition and now housed in a 2X2 instead of sitting in a box covered my Susan B Anthony's. I'll have the kids look at the link
