Comment
During the German occupation of Norway the composition was changed from bronze to iron (for the war efforts), the obverse was also changed to no longer include the Haakon VII monogram, as the king went into exile after denying the German ultimatum.Interesting fact
The 5 Øre coin from Norway, issued during the German occupation during World War II, features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Haakon VII, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a Viking warrior, symbolizing Norway's rich history and cultural heritage. This design was chosen to assert Norway's independence and national identity during a time of foreign occupation.
