Iceland 1975 krona

from the Berserker Collection

This type was struck for the republic of Iceland in 1946 and 1957-75. Formerly a kingdom under the Danish crown, Iceland declared herself a republic in 1944. The first republic coinages were one, five, ten, twenty-five aurar and one kronur issued in 1946. Few issues of the republic are catalogued at more than a few dollars. This is the final date of the type, which was converted to aluminum the following year (KM 23).

Recorded mintage: 10,500,000.

Specification: 4.75 g, aluminum-bronze, 22.3 mm diameter, reeded edge.
