| Additional information |
The 3 Skilling of Carl XV belongs to the closing chapter of Norway's pre-decimal coinage. Norway adopted the Scandinavian Monetary Union in 1875, replacing the speciedaler system with the krone, which rendered skilling denominations obsolete almost immediately after this issue was struck. The two-year window of 1868–1869 reflects not routine production but a final effort to keep small-denomination copper-silver alloy coins in circulation ahead of the monetary transition.
