Description
The Royal House Centennial Medal is made of silver. It is round and has a diameter of 30 cm, with a royal crown fixed to the top. The obverse depicts King Haakon VII with the inscription "KONGEHUSET 100 ÅR" (The Royal House 100 Years). The reverse shows a wreath made of oak leaves. Above the wreath is the inscription "ALT FOR NORGE" (Everything for Norway), the motto of King Haakon VII, King Olav V, and King Harald V. Below the wreath is the inscription "1905–2005." The medal hangs from a blue ribbon with red and white edges, representing the colors of the Norwegian flag. The same color arrangement was used for the ribbon for the Order of the Norwegian Lion. The medal was produced by the Carl Poellath company.
