I Finally Found A Super Nice Icelandic 1925 2 Kronur

In a bulk lot no less. Nice grab. The crown appears to have some good detail on it. Any idea what the reverse looks like?

I find the Faroe Island token intriguing too.

As far as I can tell that 1 Krone retails for around $10-20.

From Wikipedia:

"Due to a shortage of currency in 1929-33, two merchants issued their own coins as well; J.F. Kjølbro in Klaksvík and S.P. Petersens Eftf in Fuglafjørður. The Kjølbro issue is aluminium coins with denominations of 10, 25 and 50 øre, and 1, 2, 5, and 10 kroner."

Well I got the lot about two weeks ago and that coin didn't look no way as good when I held it in my hands, They must have used some kind of scanner that left a lot of the surface detail out from the coin it self so I sent it back to them for a refund. well a few days after the auction I got a email from the coin club in Iceland with the list of coins and metals that was in the monthly auction for September 5th and the second coin on the list was a 1925 2 Kronur in 01 condition which means its a EX-Fine to AU. So a friend of mine send me the picture of the coin and asked him to bid on it for me since I'm here in the U.S. Well to make a long story short I won the coin and here is a picture of it.



Its a really nice one the best I hoped to ever come across the only better one my friend told me was in the National museum in Iceland.

Congrats Tony! That's a low mintage coin.
