from the Mountain Groan Collection

This type was struck 1942-47 for Christian X (1912-47) as king of Denmark and this date is scarce. In 1940, the Nazis invaded and occupied Denmark. In 1941, the øre (100 øre = 1 krone) was switched to zinc and struck in that metal until 1971. All the lower denominations (one, two, five, ten and twenty-five øre) were struck in zinc during the war.

Recorded mintage: 329,000.

Specification: 3.2 g, zinc.
