Interesting fact
The 10 Kroner coin featuring Margrethe II's 4th portrait, also known as the "Sirius" coin, was the first coin in Denmark to feature a portrait of the queen with a slightly more modern design, compared to the previous portraits that had been used since 1972. This design change was a significant departure from the traditional depiction of the queen and was meant to give the coin a more contemporary look.
