This specimen was lot 12218 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $940. The catalog description[1] noted, "NORWAY. 20 Kroner, 1875. ANACS MS-65." In 1907, Norway obtained a divorce from Sweden and became an independent kingdom under a Danish prince. Even before passing under Swedish rule in 1814, Norway had enjoyed a separate coinage from Denmark. The specimen shown here is from of a type struck 1874-75 and was accompanied by a gold ten kroner of similar design. Note the dual denomination: 20 kroner = 5 specie daler. This feature was dropped from later issues. Gold coinage ceased in Norway with the twenty kroner of 1910.
