| Reverse description | The coloured reverse celebrates Norway's FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, featuring a dynamic design centred on the FIFA World Cup Trophy rendered in gold relief against a radiating background in the red, white, and blue colours of the Norwegian flag. A circular band surrounds the central motif, bearing individual match results: EST 5-1, MDA 16-1, ITA 7-1, and ISR 9-2, along with the headings TOTAL SCORE. The legends 8 WINS and 8 MATCHES flank the design on the left and right respectively, while QUALIFIED arcs prominently across the top of the coin. The aggregate statistics TOTAL 37-5 and GD +32 are inscribed along the lower band, with the patriotic motto WE ARE NORWAY appearing in the exergue. The Norwegian flag is depicted in colour at the centre of the upper band. |

| Additional information |
This issue belongs to a series commemorating King Charles III, struck for the Solomon Islands — a Commonwealth realm where Charles III serves as head of state. The Solomon Islands retain the monarchy not as a ceremonial afterthought but as a functioning constitutional arrangement, with the Governor-General appointed on the Prime Minister's advice.
Copper-nickel at this weight and diameter places it squarely in crown-sized territory, a format long favored for collector-circulation hybrids that see neither serious use nor serious numismatic attention. The 2026 date likely anticipates a specific regnal milestone.
