| Additional information |
Norway's copper-nickel coinage from this period reflects a postwar metal allocation decision — bronze had been the prewar standard, but shifting commodity prices and wartime industrial demands pushed the Mint toward copper-nickel for subsidiary denominations. Haakon VII, a Danish prince installed on the Norwegian throne following the 1905 dissolution of the union with Sweden, reigned over a country still finding its economic footing in the early 1920s.
The Kongsberg Mint struck this series in relatively modest quantities across the four-year run, with 1923 issues notably harder to locate than earlier dates.
