Comment
This coin is the first issue of the newly established Republic of Iceland (founded by a referendum in 1944).Interesting fact
The 2 Krónur 1946 coin from Iceland made of Aluminium bronze weighing 9.50 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic hardship in Iceland, following the end of World War II. The coin was part of a series of coins introduced in 1946 to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, and it features a unique design that reflects Iceland's cultural heritage. Despite its relatively low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
