Comments

For all possible variants look here: http://sonesgarden.se/GIVA-sidan/Kvarts_Sk/Kvarts_Sk.html
The main variants are decided by the width of the crown on the obverse and in the arrowheads on the reverse.
Type 1A: (1803-1808) with a crown width of 9.9-10.1 mm (long arrowheads)
Type 1B; (1802-03) with a crown width of 9.6-9.8 mm (1802 with short or medium arrowheads)
Type 2; (1808) with a crown width of 11.0 mm (long arrowheads) , the 1808 can also have a variant looking like "SKII LING", in reality the second "I" is a "L" where the arrow is covering the foot of the "L" making it look like an "I".
