Republic of Iceland 1942-1980 complete BU contest

Good afternoon fellow collectors,

Some days ago I was lucky to get 50-60 year old unopened bags from the royal mint in London. The coins you see in the pictures are all BU coins that cover all types of coins minted from the year 1942-1980 in Iceland.

Here are the coins







The contest is quite simple and the winner will receive the coins you see in the pictures. I will of course pay all shipping of the coins to the winner.

So on with the questions

1st
What languege do the Icelandic people speak ?

2nd
Iceland was the first country to hold a parliment. What year ?

3rd
What year was the first coin minted in Iceland ?

4th
The United state naval air staion was based in what town in Iceland ?

5th
Who was the first United States Ambassador to Iceland ?

Hope everyone had some fun and good luck to all who take part

CONTESTS CLOSES ON THE 25th of June 2010 at 17:00 GMT

Best regards
