History & Notable Facts
In 1964, Norway issued this silver coin to commemorate the 150th anniversary of its Constitution, not the 50th as the name might suggest—a common mix-up in numismatic circles.
The coin, a 5-krone piece, was struck in .800 fine silver and features the Storting building on the reverse, a straightforward nod to the nation's legislative heart. Its obverse bears a portrait of King Olav V, keeping the design clean and unadorned. We know it was minted at the Norwegian Mint in Kongsberg, but details like the exact number of planchets used remain buried in archives I haven't cracked open in years.
Proof versions exist, though they're scarcer than a polite debate in a coin forum. Sometimes people claim it's rare; it's not, really.
