This specimen was part of lot 23262 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), which sold for $503.70. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mixed Scandinavian 14 Coin Lot, ...50 Ore 1875. Grades are Fine-XF. A lot that needs careful study." This type was minted 1875-83 and 1898-99. The later dates are fairly common but the early dates are scarce. Altho the weight matches that of the French franc, the fineness and diameter are different and it is unlikely they exchanged.

Recorded mintage: 1,908,000.

Specification: 5 g, .600 fine silver, 22 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 740.
