Bergensdaler

Issued to mark Bergen's 930th anniversary, this commemorative daler revives a denomination that hadn't circulated in Norway since the late 18th century. The original bergendaler was a regional trade coin tied to Bergen's dominance as a Hanseatic port city — one of the few Norwegian towns with enough commercial weight to sustain its own recognizable monetary identity. Norges Bank produced this piece in a limited commemorative run, with no circulation mandate.
