Interesting fact
The 1 Øre coin from Norway, featuring King Olav V, was designed by sculptor Per Palle Storm and was in circulation from 1958 to 1972. Interestingly, the coin's obverse (front) side features a portrait of the king facing left, while the reverse (back) side features a crowned monogram of the king's initials, "O" and "V," surrounded by two sprigs of oak leaves. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of royalty on coins, where the monarch is typically shown facing right. This unique design choice adds a touch of personality and character to the coin, making it stand out among other coins of its time.
