| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of King Harald V occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail. A circular legend surrounds the bust, incorporating the monarch's name, title, and the mint year. The engraver's initials IAR appear within the legend. The overall design is austere and dignified, consistent with Norwegian royal commemorative coinage. |

| Additional information |
Norway's confederation of sports (Norges idrettsforbund) was founded in 1861, making it one of the oldest national sports bodies in the world. This 2011 commemorative marks the organization's 150th anniversary. The NIF governs 54 sports federations and roughly 2.1 million members — in a country of five million, that penetration rate is extraordinary by any comparison.
