This is a 1 Skilling copper coin from Denmark similar to KM#763. What's different about this coin is that instead of being a 1 Skilling Rigsmont, it is a 1 Skilling Dybbol. I have not been able to find any reference to this other than in April of 1864 there was a battle between Denmark , Prussia & Austria at Dybbol resulting in Denmark loosing. Several other odd things about this coins is that the King is Frederik VII who was no longer king in 1864 and that no coins were issued in Denmark for the years 1864 & 65. Looking for any information on this coin.

Thanks,
Ron

This is not a coin, and it is most defenitly not from 1864.

It is "minted" as part of teaching children about the coin system before 1874.
Someone have gone true a lot of work to make it look old.

The coin is shown about 1/3 down the page

bomndk, thanks for the information. That explains why I couldn't find a reference to this piece.
