| Additional information |
Norway's 2 øre bronze ran almost the entire length of Haakon VII's reign — a king who came to the throne as a Danish prince chosen by plebiscite in 1905, the year Norway dissolved its union with Sweden. Production halted during the German occupation from 1940 to 1945, when the royal government fled to London and the mint fell under Nazi administrative control. Post-liberation strikes resumed in 1945 and continued until 1952, the year Haakon died.
The 1941–1944 gap in the date sequence is the clearest physical record of the occupation years this denomination carries.
