Iceland 1931-N 5 aurar

from the Berserker Collection

This coin was struck for Iceland in 1926 and 1931 at the Copenhagen mint and bears the heart mintmark. In 1940, as Nazi troops occupied Denmark, British troops occupied Iceland. In 1944, a vote was held and Iceland declared independence from Denmark and became a republic. This date is rather scarce in nice condition. The plural of eyrir is aurar and 100 aurar = one krona.

Recorded mintage: 311,000.

Specification: 6.0 g, bronze.

Catalog reference: KM 7.2.
