This specimen was lot 75013 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2024), where it sold for $168. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREENLAND. 25 Ore, 1926-HCN GJ. Copenhagen Mint. Christian X. PCGS EF-45. A most pleasing and entirely appealing specimen, with good preserved details and limited signs of actual handling." This issue is a modification of KM 5 by punching a hole in the center. The SCWC comments, "The hole was added 1940/41 in New York to avoid confusion with the 1 Krone coins." The SCWC notes that all Greenlander coins were withdrawn in 1967 and replaced with Danish coins.
Recorded mintage: 60,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
