The Kongsberg Silver Mines closed in 1958 after operating for 334 years. It is today a museum and the city's main tourist attraction. Kongsberg remains the site of the Royal Norwegian Mint (Det Norske Myntverket), which mints Norwegian coins and also produces circulating and collectors' coins for other countries.

  5. The Queen looks very stylish and chic. The white pants, fit well, and look splendid with this beautiful red coat. The brooch is a welcome addition. The red and white blouse underneath was a good choice. Her accessories color is good, shoes and clutch.

      One could say Queen Sonja has eternal beauty and she knows how to preserve and present it.
      Looking forward to her daughter’s wedding later this year.
