1940 Iceland 1 Krona!


My oldest, most rare, and probably most valuable Icelandic coin. I bought it for $0.50 and knew when I saw it that it had to be mine. I'm not a big fan of modern Icelandic coins, but the older ones are much harder to find so the newer ones are pretty much all I have. That's why I was excited to see this coin for such a small price. Only 209,000 were minted which, by American standards, is a very small number and if this was an American coin, I would not have one. Since it is from a smaller, not as collected country, it is more readily available. This coin is worth about $2.00
