Context

All these coins were struck between 1767 and 1800, but all have the year 1767. Siegs 2017 differentiate between 6 types of this coin. The variation is if nothing else specified for the last three letters of “AMARICANSK” on the reverse. Sieg 9.1 : Squiggly K (upper arm) and slanted rifled border. Minted in Copenhagen, in 1767. Engaved by J. Bauert. Sieg 9.2 : Correct K and slanted rifled border. Minted in Copenhagen, in 1783. Engaved by J. Bauert. Sieg 9.3 : N with a sherif (upper left corner), squiggly K (upper arm) and slanted rifled border. Minted in Kongsberg, in 1790/1791. Engraved by A. Lunde. Sieg 9.4 : Patterned border. Minted in Altona, in 1795. Engraved by J. Bauert. Sieg 9.5 : Small size N, big space before and after M (the one after AMERICANSK) and patterned border. Minted in Altona, in 1800. Engraved by A.
