A little one from Norway

newbiecollector

Something that I don't think many will see very often. Norwegian coins are not really collected very strongly except for the Scandinavian locations.
This is a 1 Ore, 1889 - Bronze
KM# 352, 3 million minted....... but try and find one...

Wayne - I have a few from Norway but never have seen one like that.

I don't think there are that many left like that Shep.

Yeah, the small change tends to dissappear very quickly, and what you find of it tends to be in rather poor condition. It's nice to come across one with as much detail as yours newbie.

I like the lion and it's in really good shape for a 'workhorse' coin!

I haven't found this series to be especially tough except in poundage where it's rarely
seen. This series did see heavy circulation but can be found in better grades and in unc.
Circs are quite tough with full detail, especially on the lion's head.

Many that I've seen have been picked up at local shops so this could be a local phenomena.

Danish coins of the same era are quite "common".

I really like Norwegian coinage. This is an especially nice example.
