Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Krónur coin from Iceland is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of a Viking warrior, while the reverse side features an image of a puffin, a small seabird that is native to Iceland and a popular symbol of the country. The coin's design was created by Icelandic artist and sculptor, Gunnar Jónsson, and it has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1967.
