seuk Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 And a Danish 2 skilling of Christian III. Minted in Ribe 1536 just after the civil war was ended and the reformation completed. Its slightly smaller than a contemporary British groat. Quote

azda Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 From a small Job lot.... Sculpted by a Norwegian apparently with 2000 only made in bronze, so many in Silver and same for Gold with the dies being destroyed after they'd done. This was bought in 1978 and has the receipt from Spinks from the purchaser Quote
