Historical Context:

Collecting Note:
This series is appreciated for its clean design, consistent specifications, and historical significance as part of the final decade of Frederik IX’s rule. Solid-format Danish krone coins of this era contrast with earlier and later holed issues, making them an interesting comparison point within Danish coinage.
