Not many people know this, but the area that is modern day Norway was inhabitated by indigenous people long before the Vikings. They are called the Sami. They lived all the way across Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
From the Norges National Bank: ”The Sami woman Elsa Laula Renberg organised the first national Sami congress in Norway. The congress was held in the Trondheim United Methodist Church 6 – 9 February 1917. It was an important event in the history of the Sami people and 6 February was subsequently designated the Sami National Day. The circulation coin will be issued in connection with the centenary celebrations “Traånte 2017” (“Tråante” is South Sami for “Trondheim”).
Following input from the Sami Parliament and the Sami Artists’ Union, Norges Bank invited seven artists to participate in a competition to design the centenary motif on the reverse of the coin. The winner was the artist Annelise Josefsen from Kokelv in Finnmark county and her winning motif, “Interplay”, is featured on the reverse of the coin”.
