Details
From 1943 these 50 ore coins consisted of 40% silver. In 1940 these coins were still struck from nickel and bronze and not from silver. So the 1943 to 1961 versions are 40% silver. From 1962, these 50 öre coins were no longer struck from silver, but silver was again replaced by the cheaper copper and nickel.

Vanaf 1943 bestonden deze munten van 50 öre uit 40% zilver. In 1940 werden deze munten nog van nikkel en brons geslagen en niet van zilver. Dus de versies van 1943 tot 1961 bestaan uit 40% zilver.
Vanaf 1962 werden deze munt van 50 öre niet meer geslagen van zilver maar werd zilver wederom vervangen door het goedkopere koper en nikkel.
