The coin's story

This 25 øre of 1924 is a circulating coin issued under the reign of King Haakon VII (1905-1957). It is remarkable for its shape and composition, which mark a transition in Norwegian currency. The minting period of this coin (1924) is between the two World Wars, during a period of strong growth for Norway, which had gained full independence in 1905 with the arrival of Haakon VII.
