About us
Norwegian coin production since 1686.
The company
A small mint with broad expertise
Running a mint requires a wide range of expertise. The Mint strikes circulation and commemorative coins and medals for several countries, with expertise across the full technical value chain.
The Mint's vision is to maintain its status as a mint and to become a leading producer of commemorative coins and medals.
Ownership and management
Owned by Samlerhuset AS
Samlerhuset and the Finnish Mint bought the newly privatised company in 2003. Samlerhuset became sole owner in 2015. While mints in other Nordic countries are closing, Samlerhuset is investing in Kongsberg to preserve the craft.
The Mint is led by Mint Director Vibece Furseth – Norway's first female mint master.
