| Beschrijving voorzijde | A detailed relief depiction of a salmon swimming to the right occupies the central field, its body rendered with fine stippled detailing to suggest scales and texture. The arched legend ESSAI · PATTERN · PROBE runs along the upper periphery, inscribed in raised Latin capitals. The date 2004 appears in the lower exergual area in raised numerals. The overall design is characteristic of a multilingual trial piece, with the three-language inscription referencing French, English, and German terminology for a pattern coin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination numeral 10 appears prominently to the left of center, with the currency inscription EUROP© and the unit CEROS arranged vertically below it. To the right, a stylized representation of the prow and headstock of a Viking longship is depicted, rendered in raised relief against a background of vertical parallel lines suggestive of water or a structural motif. The composition evokes Norse maritime heritage and is consistent with the Norwegian thematic context of this fantasy pattern series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Norway never joined the Eurozone — the 2003 referendum was never held, as public opposition remained strong enough that no government seriously pushed for a vote. These essai pieces were produced as part of the broader European pre-euro pattern program, in which candidate and prospective member states submitted trial strikes for evaluation of metal, weight, and die quality. Norway's participation was technical, not political.
The brass composition mirrors the specification for the 10-euro cent denomination, allowing direct comparison testing against circulation blanks from confirmed member states.
