Get Your Syttende Mai Commemorative Coin

Every year the Syttende Mai committee issues a collectible, commemorative coin as a keepsake. They’re a remembrance of the festival, and they honor both Stoughton’s and Norway’s heritage.

Each year, two images are selected for the front and back of the Syttende Mai commemorative coin. One side illustrates what makes Stoughton special while the other side represents Norway’s land and culture. The two sides come together to embrace Stoughton’s Norwegian heritage and its long Syttende Mai festival tradition.

The first commemorative coin minted for the Syttende Mai festival dates back to 1966. It featured the state of Wisconsin on one side and a Viking ship on the other.
