Hi,

a) please take a look at Norway 3 skilling 1869:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces32232.html

Coin is assigned to Charles IV (4th)
should be assigned to Charles XV (15th) as printed on coin, as even the "lettering" states in the article.

b) there is also a strange mixture of Norway: Charles III John (1818-1844) [Numista king] and Charles XIV Johan [on coin]
I yet fail to understand - did this guy have two names?

A) seems to be a database description error and a title page error. When you click on the ruler (LINK) you only get 15th entries.
EDIT The same issue as B 15th is Sweden 4th Norway
B) The 16th is the number from the Swedish perspective and 3rd that of Norway. I don't know if this is the result of restructuring not been finished or a patch work of different creators.
Rulling authorities are from Norway perspective. I requested the change with that 3 Skilling name.
