===Coins=== In 1981, coins were introduced in denominations of 5, 10 and 50 aurar ''(cents)'', 1 krona and 5 krona. These were followed by 10 krona pieces in 1984, 50 krona in 1987 and 100 krona in 1995. Since 2003, Icelandic banks no longer accept any coins denominated in aurar ''(cents)''.<ref name="aurar">{{cite web|url=http://www.cb.is/publications/news/news/2003/08/15/Withdrawal-of-coin-denominated-in-aurar/|title=Withdrawal of coin denominated in aurar|date=15 August 2003|website=cb.is|publisher=[[Central Bank of Iceland]]|access-date=1 July 2020}}</ref> {|class="wikitable" style="margin:auto; font-size:90%; border-width:1px;" ! colspan=11 | Second series (1981–1995)<ref name=cbic>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cb.is/financial-stability/oversight-of-financial-market-infrastructures/banknotes-and-coin/valid-coins-in-circulation/|title=Valid coins in circulation|publisher=[[Central Bank of Iceland]]|access-date=30 June 2020}}</ref><ref name=cbicw>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sedlabanki.is/uploads/files/opinbergjald220..pdf|title=Opinber gjaldmiðill á Íslandi: Útgáfa og auðkenni íslenskra seðla og myntar|publisher=[[Central Bank of Iceland]]|page=65|language=is|access-date=1 July 2020}}</ref> |- ! rowspan=2 | Image ! rowspan=2 | Value ! colspan=4 | Technical parameters ! colspan=3 | Description ! rowspan=2 | Issued<br/>from ! rowspan=2 | Lapse |- !
