| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Níðhöggr (Nidhogg), the mythical dragon of Norse mythology, rendered in a sinuous, stylized form inspired by Viking-age interlace art. The creature is shown in profile facing right, its serpentine body coiling dynamically in the left portion of the field. The denomination, country name, and date are inscribed along the right periphery in a curved legend reading from top to bottom, with the engraver's initials appended. The mint mark appears in the central right field. The overall design reflects a deliberate reference to Old Norse iconographic tradition. |
