Unfortunately, there was no gold coin issued to mark this event, however it was replaced by Copper coin instead. This series comprises of Single proof silver (500pcs minted), Set of 2- Silver proof & Proof Nordic Gold (2000pcs minted), Copper coin Matte finish (150pcs minted) & Copper coin Proof-Like finish (150pcs minted), Nordic Gold coin Brilliant Uncirculated (10000pcs minted in coin cards).
In this issue we have seen some changes in issuing by BNM, for instances, there were no gold coins issued, copper coins were issued with two different finishing - Matte & Proof Like, the mintage for single Silver proof coins has reduced significantly to 500pcs only and that is a major reduction and the same goes for the Nordic gold (BU) coin issued in coin cards with only 10000pcs minted a reduction from 25000pcs base from the past issues.
It was rather disappointing that the public was unable to purchase the copper coins over the counter due to its extremely low mintage, therefore it was put on auction with 60pcs for Matte & 60pcs for PL finishing.
Silver proof single - 500pcs minted
Set of 2 comprises of Silver proof coin & Nordic gold proof coin (2000pcs minted)
Copper coin, two types of finishing - Matte (150pcs minted) & Proof Like (150pcs minted).
