The Danish National Bank immediately started work on creating the first Frederik X coin and this was finally released at the beginning of November, with one million 20 Kr coins being made available.
Denmark has released its first coin to feature the new King Frederik X following the abdication of Queen Margrethe II.
The coin, a 20 Kr piece, is being released in both circulating and uncirculated versions. The National Bank has arranged for the uncirculated versions to be available via Danish Coin and Stamp dealer Nordfrim at face value.
This is the first change of monarch coin to be released since Queen Margrethe succeeded King Frederik IX in 1972. The design of the new coin depicts a portrait of King Frederick in profile facing right on the obverse and a similar portrait of Queen Margrethe in profile on the reverse facing right.
The portraits were designed by sculptor Eva Hjorth, whilst the coin itself was designed by the National Bank’s head of design, Jeanette Skov Jensen.
Although existing coins continue to be legal tender in Denmark, we can expect a number of new issues in 2025 bearing the effigy of King Frederik X, with some possibly being produced in precious metal for collectors.
Despite the lengthy production time of new coins, which can take up to a year, this process seems to have been exceptionally drawn out, having taken almost 11 months to complete.
