Interesting fact

The 1 Øre coin from Norway, featuring King Haakon VII, was designed by sculptor Brynjulf Bergslien and was in circulation from 1952 to 1957. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was the first coin in Norway to feature a portrait of a reigning monarch. Prior to this, Norwegian coins had featured images of generic figures or symbols. The inclusion of King Haakon VII's portrait on the coin was seen as a symbol of Norway's independence and sovereignty.
