II skilling 1677 Denmark - allignment variant confirmation KM#358

2 posts • viewed 86 times
Hello all,

I noticed i have a variant of the below coin in my collection.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22576.html for the original catalogue entry.

Characteristics of the coin i have :

weight : 1.10 g probably because of the missing material (see photo). 1,32g in catalogue
diameter : 18.65 mm, again most likely because of the missing material from the coin. 19.0 mm in catalogue
thickness: 0.74 mm. Not described in catalogue.

Writing on both sides of the coin (taking into consideration the condition of the coin) matches the one described in the catalogue, details aswell. The edge is also smooth.

Main difference that i could notice : The side with the crown and shield with 3 lions under has an orientation from left to right (crown 9h to bottom of shield 15h). If i flip the coins 180 degrees, the side with the value has an orientation of top to bottom. At the top at 12h the dot between the year and "NOR" : "1677 . NOR" and at the bottom, 18h, the space between O and T from ".GOT.".

Any help would be highly regarded. Cheers!

These are hand made coins so offset alignment is to be expected granted i could very well be wrong,

if memory serves these like most others where "hand stamped" on both sides then cut out of the sheet.
