I looked in my Krause online, and what I expected them to be listed under, they weren't. First looks like Sweden, but I don't see a listing for 12 Sk anywhere. 2nd coin appears to be Denmark but again, it doesn't match what is listed in my krause for those years. Anyone have KM#s or values?

    Look under Norway. The lion rampant with a short axe is the give-away

    The other tell for Norway are the crossed hammers in the middle of the date.



    Identifing a coins country becomes easier once you start picking up on common country symbols and alphabet styles.

    Another tell is the name "NORGES" in the legend of the first one. After a while, you'll recognize all the countries' names as they appear in their own languages.
