This specimen was struck during the reign of Christian IX (1863-1906). The Scandinavian countries (Norway, Denmark and Sweden) formed their own monetary union in competition with the Latin Monetary Union based on the French twenty francs d'or. Like that union, the Scandinavian Monetary Union lasted until World War One blasted all hard currencies out of existence. The twenty kroner shown here was issued 1873-77, 1890 and 1900 in fairly large numbers compared to the smaller ten kroner.
Recorded mintage: 351,000 for 1876-77.
Specification: 8.96 g, 0.900 fine gold, .259 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: KM 791.1.
