| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed draped bust of King Oscar I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curly hair and a small goatee. The portrait is engraved in the neoclassical tradition by Ludwig Persson Lundgren. The circular legend around the periphery reads OSCAR NORGES SVER. G. OG V. KONGE., identifying the monarch as King of Norway, Sweden, Goths and Wends. At the lower portion of the coin, separated by two small rosette stops, the royal motto RET OG SANDHED (Justice and Truth) arcs along the bottom of the field. The design is bordered by a continuous milled denticular rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Oscar I ascended to the Norwegian throne in 1844 following the death of his father Karl Johan, and this Speciedaler series covers the middle decade of his reign — a period marked by cautious liberal reforms and growing Norwegian nationalist sentiment that would eventually drive the push for dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian union. The Kongsberg mint, which struck these pieces, had been operating since 1686 and drew its silver directly from the Kongsberg mines, one of the richest silver deposits in northern Europe.
By the 1840s those mines were in steep decline, and dwindling domestic silver supply complicated production throughout the series.
