Comment

Due to inflation, these coins were never released into circulation. Along with the 2 øre 1960-66, they were sold to collectors as a set, called a "Hækkerupsæt" (The Hækkerup set - Per Hækkerup was the economy minister at the time). Around 100.000 sets were sold.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with an image of King Frederik IX on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted to commemorate the king's 25th anniversary on the throne and was only produced for a few years, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
