This specimen was lot 23048 in Stack's Bowers ANA Auction (Denver, CO, August 2017), where it sold for $705. The catalog description[1] noted, "NORWAY. 20 Kroner, 1878. NGC MS-66. Bold strike and highly lustrous. Quite attractive." 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 1876-86 and 1902 and was accompanied by a gold ten kroner of similar design. Gold coinage ceased in Norway with the twenty kroner of 1910.
