Issued to mark the centenary of Norway's dissolution of its union with Sweden in 1905, this coin commemorates one of the more peacefully negotiated separations in European political history. The union, forced on Norway following the Napoleonic Wars by the 1814 Treaty of Kiel, had chafed for decades — Norwegian demands for a separate consular service were the immediate trigger for the 1905 crisis. Sweden ultimately accepted the dissolution after a Norwegian plebiscite returned a vote of 368,208 to 184 in favor of independence.
The referendum figure — nearly unanimous — left Sweden little diplomatic ground to contest.
