Malmer chain 151, dies 9.701.1914; Hauberg 3. Struck with worn dies. Extremely Fine. 2 die identical coins were recorded by Malmer.
Although the reverse and obverse legends are readable it is die linked into the Danish chain 151. This chain contains blundered obverse Pointed Helmet paired with quatrefoil obverse which is typical for Scandinavian coinage of the time. The style of the dies, however, suggest that they were transferred from England.
