| Additional information |
With Norway under German occupation, the government-in-exile authorized coin production in Philadelphia — the only Allied mint with sufficient capacity at the time. These 1942 issues were struck by the United States Mint on behalf of the Norwegian crown, part of a broader arrangement that also covered Belgian and Dutch exile coinages during the same period.
The Philadelphia mint struck all three exile denominations that year without its customary "P" mint mark, a detail that still catches collectors off guard.
