Today, I visited the Museum of Cultural History and the exhibition Good as gold - coins are history in Oslo. The exhibition was opened to mark the 200-year anniversary of the Coin Cabinet in 2017.
I have walked past this museum almost daily, but actually just saw the banner outside it after I started collecting precious metals.
Anyway, I enjoyed the exhibition very much. As I do not want to spoil it if some fellow Norwegians want to attend, I have just included a few teasers.
The Lydians were the first people to refine gold:
Rupi is from the Indian word rupe (cow). Fee is from the Norse name fe (meaning cow):
Agreed:
The Nazis tried to steal our gold, but we managed to smuggle it out of Norway:
In the exhibition you can see 15,000 of them.
Here is a sample:
Later today I picked up a package:
The trident is a very strong symbol to me. It could be because I am Aquarius or that it is a masculine symbol. I recently read a book by Jordan B. Peterson 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, highly recommended, and he has some pages about the archetypal Terrible Mother, which one of them, Ursula, stole the trident from King Triton (Little Mermaid).
No one is going to steal my Trident:)

Hi, @janusface. It's great that they are having an exhibition, and it must be very cool to see so many gold coins! I'm definitely tempted to visit it once. As you might have guessed, I'm more likely to be visiting the Naturhistorisk Museum when I'm in Oslo.
And that trident coin looks nice! What type of metal is the white part?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Naturhistorisk museum is nice, and that remains me that I have not been at the NM for a long time. Should definitively go there soon. The white part is just some plastic encapsulating the coins, as I have not removed it from the box. Should probably have done that for better pics and for a more genuine feeling of the coins, but I do not have any gloves yet to handle it. Fingerprints (with biological residues) destroy coins (perhaps not so much gold) over time.

"A cow is also money. A cow gives milk, meat, skin, and work power. So it is a measure of wealth and can be used to pay with."
Interesting. Reminds me of the Hávamál : "Deyr fé, deyja frændr". The common translation has "cattle die" but I have also seen it translated as "wealth dies". Both in poetry and real life the word has a double meaning. Cows can die and wealth can fade but 'the glory of the dead can live on'.
Also didn't know Rupee and Ruble also came from the words for cow. :-)

The Vikings were very prolific for a few centuries. Thus, many of the word used in English are Norse (for example the weekdays (Monday, Tuesday etc.). They also conquered the seas and went as west as today's America.
