Norway 1, 2, 4, and 8 Skilling 1809 to 1811

Yo, PJ -- Nice coin! -- Norway was Danish until 1914, so the big FR on the front of your coin stands for king Frederik the sixth of Denmark. All denominations from 1 to 4 skillings were minted in copper, but the 8 skilling was minted in silver and has somewhat different inscriptions on the reverse side. The script FR appears on all denominations. Some coins have rosettes on the date side.
