<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 888484, member: 6229&quot;]In 1995 Norway released several commemorative coins. But I, only, want to direct your attention to a specific commemorative struck to honor Norway&#039;s 1000th year of coinage. The coin measures 25.9mm, is made of Copper-Nickel and bears a 5 Kroner denomination. 500,000 were struck for circulation and 12,000 proofs for coin collectors. The reverse bears a design featuring the 1000 year old coin, first struck in Norway, which separates the denomination.
