Sovjet-style Svalbard Coin · #10087
At the Versailles peace conference after WW1 Norway was granted sovereignty over Spitsbergen (Svalbard in modern parlance). The Spitsbergen treaty was signed in 1920 and entered into force five years later. Today, a total of 44 countries are parties to the treaty. Citizens of these states are free to travel to Svalbard and work there. This digital coin celebrates what in all probability is the most fascinating international treaty ever.
