Sell Norwegian gold kroner
Norway struck its gold 20 and 10 kroner from 1874 to 1910, first under the Swedish-Norwegian union and then under Haakon VII. Small mintages, so scarcer than the Swedish ones.

What do we pay for a norwegian gold kroner?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €119.54 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 kroner | 8.065 g | 8.96 g | €925.45 |
| 10 kroner | 4.032 g | 4.48 g | €462.73 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 900‰ (21.6 carat) pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.
The last Norwegian gold coins date from 1910; after that Norway struck no more gold kroner for circulation.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

From Oscar II to Haakon VII
Until 1905 Norway and Sweden shared a king, and the Norwegian gold coins of that period carry the portrait of Oscar II. After the separation, coins of Haakon VII followed in 1910. That was the end of the Norwegian gold coin.
Scarcer than the neighbours
Norway struck far less gold than Sweden and Denmark. We settle on the fine gold, but with these coins we always look at year and condition as well. If the collector value exceeds the gold value, we tell you.

Not in gold, but they were struck in smaller numbers. That can make a Norwegian coin worth more to collectors. We judge that coin by coin.
