| Additional information |
Issued to mark the bicentennial of the University of Oslo, founded in 1811 by royal decree of Frederik VI during the Napoleonic Wars — a period when Denmark-Norway was blockaded and culturally isolated. The institution was established partly as a nationalist assertion, giving Norway its first domestic seat of higher learning after centuries of sending students to Copenhagen.
