Interesting fact
The 10 Kroner / 2½ Speciedaler coin from Norway, minted in 1874 during the reign of King Oscar II, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of gold (.900), it was designed to be used as a circulation coin, which means it was intended for everyday transactions. This is unusual because gold coins were typically reserved for special occasions or as a store of value, rather than for daily use. This coin's unique blend of gold and circulation coinage makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
