Comment
During the German occupation of Norway the composition was changed from copper-nickel to zinc (for the war efforts), the obverse was also changed to no longer include the Norwegian crown (symbol of the king) and the royal motto ("All for Norway"), as the king went into exile after denying the German ultimatum.Interesting fact
The 10 Øre coin from Norway, issued during the German occupation during World War II, has an interesting feature. The coin's obverse side features an image of King Haakon VII, while the reverse side features the denomination and a small Viking ship, which is a symbol of Norway's rich history and culture.
