8 Skilling 1797 Samtidig Forfalskning Kv 1+ (XF)

A specimen far above average for this contemporary forgery. Pascal Paoli was behind one of the really big scandals in Christiania at the end of the 18th century, when he allowed quantities of fake silver coins to be spread in the city. He was convicted of counterfeiting and imprisoned at Munkholmen near Trondheim.
