Trivia: The Norwegian krone translates to what English word?
Crown
Ring
Coin
Gold
The correct answer is Crown
So why is this answer correct? : Used by Norway and its dependent territories, the Norwegian krone (NOK) translates to “crown.” It replaced the “Norwegian speciedaler” in 1875 at a fixed rate of 4 kroner to 1 speciedaler. The krone was introduced so that Norway could join the Scandinavian Monetary Union with Denmark (Danish krone) and Sweden (Swedish krona). This union was dissolved in 1914, and the countries kept their respective currencies.
