==History==

==Coins==

In 1897, coins were introduced (some dated 1856) in denominations of 10 and 50 øre and 1 and 10 kroner. Between 1901 and 1903, the new coinage was introduced in full, in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 øre and 1, 2, and 10 kroner. The 1, 2, and 5 øre were struck in bronze; the 10, 25, and 50 øre and 1 and 2 kroner, in silver; and the 10 and 20 kroner, in gold.

The last gold coins were issued in 1910; silver was replaced by cupro-nickel from 1920. Between 1917 and 1921, iron temporarily replaced bronze. 1917 also saw the last issuance of 2 kroner coins.  In the year of 1931, 5 kroner coins were introduced. Production of 1 and 2 øre coins ceased in 1947. The following year, the size of the 5 øre coin was reduced; production of the denomination ceased in 1982, along with minting of the 25 øre. Ten-kroner coins were introduced in 1968. In 1975, the last 10 øre coins were minted.

Between 1989 and 1992, a new coinage was introduced, consisting of 50 øre, 1, 5, 10, and 20 kroner. These are the only coins which are currently legal tender.
