Would appreciate a translation/explanation of:Freight - (Kr/Spsd) 200 (Øre) 61I believe this is the fare charged but what are the separate amounts for?Thank you.

[Gjest Jan Helge Trelsgård]

The Norwegian currency is kroner (what you refer to as Kr). 'Spsd' I assume is an abbreviation for 'Spesiedaler', an elder norwegian currency. 1 krone equals 100 øre (as 1 dollar equals 100 cent). Today 1 US dollar equals approx. 7 Norwegian kroner.
