Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Øre - Olav V (Trial strike) 1970 from Norway, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 4.80 g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1970 as a trial strike, which means 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.
