At this time, issuing authorities started indicating the year of issue on coins. In Frederick I's coinage the years 1525, (15)28, (15)30 and (15)31 are represented on coins from Oslo and 1530 on coins from Bergen. . However, the first person to indicate the year of minting on Norwegian coins was Archbishop Erik Valkendorf (1510-1522) with his skillings dated 1518 and 1519. |
