xlur8ed New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/27/2009 10:24 pm I am not a coin collector, but I have received a bag of random coins from a relative. I am not looking to make money off of these, but rather research the coin and the times they were circulated during. Could someone give me information on this coin that I can further search on google for? The coin says: On front: Has a lion wrapped in a circle with a crown over the lions head. It has the following on wrapped around the outside of the coin "FRID.IIII.D.G.REX.DAN.NOR.V.G." On back: VIII Skilling Danske 17 (crosshatches) 30 NBF The biggest problem I have with this coin, is that it is in horrible condition. Very worn (again not looking to sell, just research). So the verbiage I have listed above is what I have found in my 5 hour research that makes sense for what could be on the coin. Any help or information on this coin would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance! - Jason Image: CoinFace.jpg 74.2 KB Image: CoinBack.jpg 65.27 KB Edited by Sap 04/09/2009 08:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/27/2009 11:04 pm I think you have a pretty good idea of this coin! The ruler of Denmark-Norway at the time was Fredrik IV (Fridrik IV/IIII) With the Norway coat of arms on one side, I'm guessing the coin was made for use there. The condition isn't that bad for 279 years. I know it's silver, but perhaps someone can quote you the content. Report this Post to the Staff

I hold this coin with such a past, that I want to know more about it.... Is that KM# listed something that designated this series or coin? Thanks again for your time! Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 08:54 am The KM# comes from the Krause Catalogs of World Coins and designates that coin type for that country during that period. These catalogs are available at http://www.krause.com. You can also do a search for the coin at http://www.coinarchives.com. Edited by echizento 03/28/2009 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
