    Nope, Greenland has never made gold coins. It depends on the dominiation what metal it is

    Sorry kristofer.....its made of a brass alloy.....some of the Danish held counties coins were made of this brass alloy that was called norse gold because it looked like gold.

    And welcome to the forum :welcome:

    Is not nordic gold what you mean?

    Wikipedia says nordic gold composition is 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin.

    That coin is made from aluminum bronze. "Nordic Gold" is a fairly recent variety that was not used before c. 1990. As for the possible value, roughly €10 maybe. As usual, the value depends on the condition: A well-worn piece will be worth considerably less, an uncirculated coin could be a little more ...
