| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the crowned Norwegian royal coat of arms — a shield bearing a rampant lion passant guardant holding an axe, set against a horizontally lined background. The royal crown surmounts the shield, rendered in fine relief with arched bands and a cross finial. To the left of the shield appears the royal cipher 'CL' (Carolus/Carl) and to the right the Roman numeral 'XV', together denoting King Carl XV of Norway and Sweden. The entire design is enclosed within a dentilated inner border and a beaded outer rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carl XV issued this denomination in the final years before Norway's copper coinage was swept aside by the monetary union negotiations that would culminate in the Scandinavian Monetary Union of 1873. The skilling itself was already an anachronism by 1870 — Sweden and Norway were both moving toward a decimal system, and this issue was among the last struck before the øre replaced the skilling entirely.
Kongsberg had been minting continuously since 1686, powered by the silver mines beneath the town. By 1870 those mines were in steep decline, and the mint's focus had shifted almost entirely to copper and bronze subsidiary coinage.
