Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Øre - Olav V (Trial strike) 1973 from Norway, made of Bronze weighing 3.3 g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1973 as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was only produced in small quantities for testing purposes. As a result, it is considered a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, particularly those interested in Norwegian coins.
