Comment

This is listed in Krause's SCWC as KM#205 for the years from 1700-1722. There is a clear distinction though between the years 1700-1712 and 1719-1722 in the weight of the coins. For the years 1700-1712 the weight is 1,11 grams and for the years 1719-1722 the weight is 0,77 grams. That is why the coins were split into to coin sheets, in order to follow the norwegian catalogs that are listing the two coins separately.

Interesting fact
