Seller's description

A Norwegian Fjord horse necklace or keychain, made from a vintage cupro-nickel 1 Krone coin. Please choose your date at cart.

Sizing:
Polished coin: 25mm in diameter (1")
Coin weight: 7g
Silver tone metal keychain: 25mm diameter (1")

Various chains/thongs are available in metal, silver plated chain, leather or faux suede:

Silver plated chain (1.5mm links) with lobster clasp (maximum 28")

Black/Brown faux suede (3mm wide) or Black leather thong (2mm wide), with lobster clasp plus additional 2" extender chain (no max)

Gunmetal/Silvery tone metal ball chain (1mm diameter balls) with 'bullet' connector (no max)

Coin details:
The coin features a Norwegian Fjord horse, the date and the crossed miners hammers (symbol of the Norwegian mint) above and the denomination and the legend Norge below.

The other side depicts King Olav V.
Engraver: Per Palle Storm

History and meaning:
The Krone is the currency of Norway and its dependent territories. It is subdivided into 100 ORE, which exist only electronically since 2012. The name Krone translates into English as crown.

The Fjord horse and its ancestors have been used for hundreds of years as farm animals in western Norway. Horses were known to exist in Norway at the end of the last Ice Age and the Fjord horse is one of the world's oldest and purest breeds. It is believed that the ancestors of the modern Fjord horse migrated to Norway and were domesticated over 4,000 years ago. Archaeological excavations at Viking burial sites indicate that the Fjord horse type has been selectively bred for at least 2,000 years.

This beautiful Norse coin has been cleaned and polished to a satisfying shine. It would make a perfect birthday gift, especially for someone who appreciates the unique beauty of all things Nordic.

Packaging:
Your Scandinavian coin necklace or keychain will arrive in an Ice Maidens pillow box, tied with ribbon.

Other details:
I have photographed the piece using a macro setting to show the details, so please note the actual size of the item is as described above. The ornate keys pictured are for photographic purposes only.
