2 öre, Landskrona, Karl XI, 1676

When Skåne became Swedish in 1663, the right to mint coins was restored. After 2-öre coins ceased to be produced in Stockholm in 1669, Karl XI had 2-öre coins struck in Landskrona between 1675 and 1676. 2-mark coins were also struck there in 1675. Hening Kemper and Johan Henrik Hille were the mint masters, which means that they were in charge of the mint. When the Danes took Landskrona in 1676, coinage there ceased and did not resume again after Scania became Swedish again at the end of the same year.
