This Norwegian 2 Kroner 1914 replica commemorates one of the most significant milestones in Scandinavian history — the centenary of the Norwegian Constitution. The obverse features the Norwegian Royal coat of arms: a crowned lion rampant holding an axe on a heraldic shield, dramatically framed by a dense pine forest landscape, with the inscription 1814 · 2 KRONER · 1914 · NORGE marking the hundred years between Norway's constitutional founding and this commemorative issue. The reverse depicts Norge — Norway personified as a cloaked female allegorical figure — standing on rocky highland terrain gazing into the distance, with a small family group at her feet representing the Norwegian people.
The 1914 Norwegian 2 Kroner is one of the finest commemorative coins ever struck in Scandinavia, celebrated for its artistic reverse design which captures the spirit of Norwegian national identity and independence. This replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary landscape and allegorical detail of the original Kongsberg Mint strike. This piece is a Scandinavian historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Norway's Constitution of 17 May 1814 — Grunnloven — is one of the oldest written constitutions still in force in the world, and remains the foundation of Norwegian democracy. The centenary in 1914 was marked with national celebrations and the issue of this commemorative 2 Kroner coin, designed to capture both the heraldic tradition of the Norwegian crown and the romantic nationalist spirit of the era. The allegorical figure of Norge on the reverse draws on the 19th century tradition of personifying nations as noble female figures — a powerful symbol of Norwegian sovereignty and identity. The coin was struck at the Kongsberg Mint, Norway's historic royal mint established in 1686.
