Norges Bank issues gold and/or silver jubilee and commemorative coins, pursuant to Section 3-4(1) of the Central Bank Act.

In accordance with the principles adopted by the Executive Board on 5 March 2026, such coins may, in rare cases, be issued to commemorate anniversaries within the Royal House of Norway and those linked to the Constitution of Norway that may be considered major national and/or historical events.

Gold and silver jubilee and commemorative coins differ from other Norwegian coins in both design and shape. When such coins are issued, it may be decided that they will be put into circulation at a premium to face value. These coins are nevertheless legal tender, just like other Norwegian coins.

Gold and silver commemorative coins are very rarely used as a means of payment, and shops and other establishments may be unfamiliar with such coins and find it impractical to accept them for payment. For that reason, gold and silver commemorative coins can, if necessary, be exchanged at face value at Norges Bank’s main office in Oslo or by sending them by post. Please arrange the exchange by sending an email to KBkontroll@norges-bank.no.
