The fourth fairy tale coin "The Snow Queen" was issued on 30 August 2006. The motif is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen".
The coin is a 10-krone coin issued in three versions – a gold, a silver, and an ordinary 10-krone coin.
A 10-krone coin in gold with diameter 22.0 mm, weight 8.65 g, and alloy 900‰ Au (gold).
A 10-krone in fine silver with diameter 38.0 mm, weight 31.1 g, and alloy 999‰ Ag (fine silver).
Sculptur Øivind Nygård has formed the motif and the result is a beautiful and exciting coin.
