Bale seal, any help or info on it would be appreciated

[mspence]

Found this seal in a colonial farm and civil war battle/ camp area. Any ideas on it?
Thanks

I don't know how old it is - my guess based on the font is late 1800s-early 1900s. The lettering may be a match for what is on this one. A Danish seed bag seal.

Found in Warwickshire, 20 x 18mm.

KØBENHAVN(V?) inscription curving downward // Crown with partial inscription curving downward (O?)TSE(N?)(N?)??(E?)LL

Inscription on reverse in full is likely to be STATSFRØKONTROLLERET. Statsfrøkontrolleret means - Stat = Goverment Frø = Seed Kontrolleret = inspected and means that the seeds are guaranteed to be disease free by the government (with thanks to Danzigman for translation).

Bramblefind, those letters and description seem to match right up. Thanks for taking the time to look into it and reply. Be safe
