Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1910 Norway 20 Kroner coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Norway's monetary system. The country was transitioning from a silver standard to a gold standard, and the 1910 coin was one of the first to be minted in gold. This coin was also significant because it featured King Haakon VII, who was the first Norwegian-born king of Norway since the Middle Ages. Additionally, the coin's design was created by the famous Norwegian artist, Erik Lindberg, who was known for his work on various coins and banknotes.
