| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 50 ØRE is prominently displayed in large raised numerals and letters occupying the central field, with the date divided and placed below in two parts flanking a central point. Three stylized triangular Viking-knot ornamental devices are arranged symmetrically around the denomination — one to the upper left, one to the upper right, and one at the lower center — evoking traditional Norse decorative motifs. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
When Germany occupied Norway in April 1940, the existing coinage in copper-nickel was quickly suspended — the occupying authorities needed those metals for the war effort. Zinc was mandated as the replacement, and the resulting issues bear Haakon VII's effigy despite the king himself being in exile in London, actively rallying Allied support. The Reich evidently found it more administratively convenient to continue the existing coin types than to impose new designs.
Zinc corrodes aggressively in circulation, and survivors in collectible condition are considerably scarcer than mintage figures suggest.
