Comment

Two technologies were applied during production:
  • Zinc planchets. Used in 1948-1969.
  • Zinc planchets covered with vaporized silver. Used in 1969-1971.

Thus there were two types in 1969.

Interesting fact

The 1 Øre coin from Denmark, featuring King Frederik IX, was the smallest coin in circulation during its time and was affectionately nicknamed "Fredriksklippen" or "Fredrik's little coin" by the Danish people.
