Interesting fact
The 2 Kroner coin from Norway, minted between 1878 and 1904, features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of King Oscar II, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the Norwegian coat of arms. This design was a departure from the previous coinage designs, which featured a more traditional depiction of the king. This change was made to reflect the increasing importance of national identity and the desire to distinguish Norwegian coinage from that of other countries.
