I propose the merge of Norwegian speciedaler and Norwegian rigsdaler because these subjects are very overlapping, and best explained in one article. Also, the current content of the two articles contain many errors, confusing the two, and one article in a common article would be much clearer. -- Egil (talk) 12:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
A Norwegian rigsdaler banknote, dated 1807 and in the denomination of five rigsdalers. The 1807 issue, in denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 100, was the first issue of rigsdaler banknotes in more than a century, following the 1695 issue. In 1816, following the establishment of a union between Sweden and Norway, the rigsdaler was renamed the speciedaler and became the standard unit of currency in Norway.Banknote: Kingdom of Norway (courtesy of the National Numismatic Collection, National Museum of American History)
