| Obverse description | The nickel-plated steel centre features a polar azimuthal projection map of the Arctic region, with the North Pole at its centre and surrounding landmasses depicted along a grid of meridians and parallels. A stylised sun disk appears at the top of the central field. The copper-plated outer ring displays a decorative geometric lattice pattern radiating outward from the central cartographic design. The legend 'Nordpolen' appears in the lower field of the ring, with the date '2012' inscribed directly below. |

| Additional information |
Norway issued this coin to commemorate the centenary of Roald Amundsen's 1911 expedition, the first to reach the South Pole — not the North. The "North Pole" issuer designation here refers to a private minting authority producing legal-tender commemoratives licensed through smaller jurisdictions, a practice that generates collector pieces with nominal face values but no realistic circulation history.
