History & Notable Facts
The 1906 10 Kroner gold coin was the first Norwegian issue to depict the country's newly adopted coat of arms, symbolizing independence from Sweden after centuries of union.
Weighing 4.8 grams and struck in 90% gold, these coins were minted at the Royal Mint in Kongsberg, primarily for commemorative purposes during Norway's gold standard era. Production ran sporadically until 1945, with designs varying to include portraits of kings like Haakon VII. Exact mintage figures are murky; records from the 1920s onward were poorly kept, possibly lost in wartime chaos.
Some variants, like the 1914 coronation piece, show subtle edge lettering that numismatists debate as a security feature or mere ornament. It's a straightforward coin, not the stuff of legends. Gold content aside, it won't solve your financial woes.
