Interesting fact
The ½ Speciedaler coin from Norway, minted in 1873 during the reign of King Oscar II, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.875), it was designed with a unique wreath-like pattern on the reverse side, which was created by the artist, Ivar Throndsen. This wreath pattern was a departure from the traditional coin designs of the time, and it gives the coin a distinctive look that sets it apart from other coins of the era.
