Denmark 1917-VBP ore

formerly in the Mountain Groan Collection

This type was struck 1913-17 for Christian X (1912-47) as king of Denmark. It is common as a type but this date is scarce. In 1918, wartime shortages forced the government to issue this type in iron. The one and two øre coins were terminated in 1972.

Recorded mintage: 4,564,000.

Specification: 2 g, bronze.
