Comment
A variation exists that has a dot after SPECIE and after 1825.Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Carl XIV in 1825, has an interesting feature. It was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and copper, which was commonly used in coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it contains only 0.250 silver, which is a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of its time. Despite this, it still maintains a weight of 1.5 grams, making it a unique and interesting piece in the history of numismatics.
