Hello Gor Den --

Your coin looks a little different than my picture. They changed the design slightly over the years. But you get the general idea from our pictures. Also, a few denominations and dates were minted in iron instead of the normal copper.

The coin in the main picture looks very well preserved, but there are faint scratches on one side, and that will make its condition equivalent to average circulated.

Here are the approximate catalog values (US dollars) of Norwegian 1, 2, and 5 ore coins in average circulated and fully uncirculated condition.
