| Additional information |
Norway awarded the 1994 Winter Olympics to Lillehammer in 1988, and the Royal Norwegian Mint began its commemorative program well ahead of the games — this 1991 issue was among the earliest in a multi-year series that ran through the event itself. Lillehammer remains the smallest city ever to host a Winter Olympics, with a population under 25,000 at the time.
Olav V died in January 1991, meaning this coin was struck either in the final weeks of his reign or posthumously under his name. His successor Harald V was proclaimed king on 17 January 1991.
