The 20-krone minted in 2005 is the standard circulating version, featuring a viking ship on its reverse and the portrait of King Harald V on its obverse, and not a special commemorative issue.

The elegant packaging is a tribute to Nils Aas, the artist behind the design of Norway's standard 20 and 10-krone coins, and one of Norway's most important artists in modern times.

Nils Aas died suddenly in 2004, and the issue is a tribute to his importance in Norwegian numismatics.
