Foreign Coin Feature : Denmark

[Dave8472]

Been a while since I have added a new foreign country to the index. Here are my Danish coins found in the UK

Most were found in Kent and even the London ones are postal Kent (PAS = Greater London) as that's where I mainly detect. A few notes on the coins. All the 'copper alloy' ones are colour photoshopped in order to harmonise the colour variations in photography so they are not all brown in real life. The sizes are also scaled but there is nothing unusual in any of them that need explaining . If you spot any dating errors on the spreadsheet timeline please let me know !

Please feel free to add any Danish (ONLY) coin finds to my post, always interested to see others

Here is mine, King Christian 4th circa 1630. Found in Northamptonshire. I showed this previously on the forum.

That 1 skilling 1771 is a really common coin to find in dk. If i remember rightly 55 million of them were produced.
The 2 skilling from chr IV is whats called a lybsk skilling or rytterpenge. They’re not rare but neither are they particulary common. Always a nice coin to find. Theres also a 4 lybsk skilling that is slightly larger..

Here's a couple of my Danish ones:

The first is a 1771 Skilling... which I think is pretty common.
The second is a 1784 2 Skilling Christian VII. Denmark ruled Norway at the time. Unfortunately, I can't read the 3 letters at the bottom of the reverse. If CHL it is v rare, but I think it is DCL (I'm no expert on these).

I’m afraid it looks distinctly like DCL....the 1st letter is closed not open as a C would be.

Thanks Skute... that's what my ol' eyes tell me too.

Was just having a little play in my Mother’s back garden a while back & this popped up.
5 Øre 1899 Christian IX Denmark, I didn’t expect that.

Always happy when a foreign coin pops up, this one is not in great condition but there is enough left to identify it as a Frederick VII Danish 1 Skirling Rigsmont 186? Thanks for looking
