Comment
The picture is of the KM#95 coin. The difference between KM#95 and KM#95a is the silver content and the weight, while the design of the coin is the same.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time when Norway was under Danish rule, and it features the image of King Christian V of Denmark on one side and the Norwegian coat of arms on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during this period that were meant to standardize currency across Denmark and Norway.
