Question
I had listed this coin on ebay as a coin from Denmark I was then informed by a bidder it was from Norway. I was then informed by a bidder it was from Denmark.
)
Can you help identify it's county of origin?
Thanks
Joe
Hi Joe,
This one is indeed from Denmark, so you were right the first time around. Norwegian coins had a similar design, but would have crossed hammers below the date.
The Norway version would actually be a bit more valuable.
Thanks for the question! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
