| Additional information |
Iceland switched from copper-nickel to nickel-plated steel for this denomination in 1996, a cost-driven decision common across Scandinavian minting at the time as base metal prices climbed. The magnetic composition is the sole distinguishing factor from the earlier KM#28 pieces — the two are otherwise identical in design, making attribution entirely dependent on a magnet or reference number rather than visual inspection.
