50 Kroner - Olav V 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer

Norway secured the 1994 Winter Olympics for Lillehammer in 1988, and the Royal Norwegian Mint began its commemorative program well ahead of the games — this 1991 issue was the first in a multi-year series released across successive years building toward February 1994. Lillehammer had bid twice before, losing to Sarajevo in 1978 and failing again before finally winning the right to host what would become the last Winter Games held two years apart from the Summer Olympics, before the IOC's staggered schedule took effect.

Olav V died in January 1991, meaning this coin was almost certainly designed and authorized before his death but struck under Harald V's reign.
