| Aanvullende informatie |
Oscar II had been king for less than a year when this piece was struck — he acceded to the Swedish-Norwegian throne in September 1872 following the death of Karl XV. The speciedaler series was already living on borrowed time; Norway's currency reform of 1875 abolished the speciedaler entirely in favor of the krone, placing this 1873 issue among the final emissions of a denomination that had anchored Norwegian silver coinage since the 17th century.
Kongsberg's silver came from the famous Kongsberg mines, which by the 1870s were well past peak production but still supplied the mint directly.
