Comment
This coin is the first issue of the newly established Republic of Iceland (founded by a referendum in 1944).Interesting fact
The 1 Króna 1946 coin from Iceland made of Aluminium bronze weighing 4.75 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic hardship and currency shortages in Iceland. The coin was introduced as a temporary solution to address the lack of small denomination coins in circulation, and it was only used for a few years before being replaced by a new design. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the coin remains a unique and collectible piece of Icelandic numismatic history.
