The two types of British halfcrown issued in 1817:
Old:

New:

Supposedly George III objected to the first portrait, introduced in 1817, and it was replaced, but I don't know why they changed the reverse as well. Both coins were a collaboration between Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci and Englishman Thomas Wyon: it was the latter's last coin design as he died in September 1817. The heraldic designs were completely different to previous milled halfcrowns that had the four shields in a cross.

The last in the series commemorating 1000 years of the althing 930-1930. Alþingi is the parlament on Iceland

2kronur
Iceland was settled around by the vikings around year 830 so some 70 years before they settled Greenland

the text on the shield says
Alþingi stofnaþ niu hundruþ ok þriatiu
Nitian hundruþ ok þriatiu
