This specimen was lot 57795 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $80. The catalog description[1] noted, "NORWAY. 2 Skilling, 1833. Kongsberg Mint. Carl XIV Johan. PCGS AU-53." Norway, long part of the Danish kingdom, was confiscated and handed over to Sweden in 1814 as penalty for supporting Napoleon. The Danish king had supplied Norway with coinage fairly consistently but Swedish issues for the kingdom before the decimal reform are very scanty. This type is listed for 1822-28 and 1831-34. This date is listed as common despite being the lowest mintage.
Recorded mintage: 60,000.
Specification: 18.7 g, copper, 29.5 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-295; Sieg-3.
