I bought this coin because I see something interesting--does anybody else collect these and notice something unusual?

Here is the seller's picture.

There are different varieties for this coin, with different symbols bordering the "2", such as an 8-petal or 5-petal rose, a "sun", and a "cross":

But check out the symbols on this coin--what would you call that--a curl?

My guess is each design is from a different Mint.

Hi Broken-Coin,
All the coins pictured above are from the Kongsberg mint, the only mint in Norway in 1810.
The symbols are purely decorative, and some are scarcer than others.
The mint mark is the crossed hammers between the date, and still in use today.
