Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Øre - Olav V (Pattern) 1966 coin from Norway is unique because it was never officially released into circulation. It was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a sample or prototype for a potential new design, but it was ultimately not adopted for use. This makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
