Introducting Iceland’s Unmatched Charm

Iceland distinguishes its currency by celebrating its marine heritage instead of using images of national figures. Its coins proudly display intricate designs of fish and shellfish, offering a unique tribute to the country’s aquatic roots.

On Iceland’s coins, each denomination showcases a different marine creature: the 1 Krona coin features a cod, the 10 Krona displays four capelins, a crab adorns the 50 Krona, and a lumpfish is found on the 100 Krona coin. Did your guesses match?
