I Find The Coinage Of Norway Very Bland And Uninspired.

True today, however their older Cantonal coinage is awesome....

The sad reality is that a lot of countries produce coinage not for people to admire their aesthetic beauty, but for spending

 

The money produced 1500-1850 was truly too nice to spend Had I been around in 1700/ probably would have kept all those freshly minted silver Talers/ gold Dukaten for my coll./ straved in the process....

 

That is an outrage!

But, why not at least mint "collector " coins that are beautifull? Its a win win/ collectors are happy/ mint sells lots of coins=$$$$
A great idea would be to do "restrikes" of coins they produced in 1600-1800 Like what Austria did for their 1915 4 Dukaten/ 100 Coronas....

 

I quite agree. I bought an Austrian re-strike because it was great. 1892 Gold 8 Florin 20 Franc

 

I can't argue with those John, I'd be delighted to own any of them.

 

I like Norway coins. In fact I have over 550 of them. My only complaint is the 10 ore coins are so small.

 

I agree, but there are some exceptions.

 

The older stuff is always nicer! Good taste is a thing of the past....
