Interesting fact
The 10 Aurar coin from the Kingdom of Iceland, featuring Christian X, has an interesting feature - it has a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of King Christian X, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Icelandic national symbol, the "Four Protectors" (four guardian spirits who are said to protect the country from harm). This combination of a monarch's portrait and a national symbol on a single coin is a distinctive aspect of Icelandic coinage during this period.
