Interesting fact

The 10 Øre coin from Denmark featuring Christian X, minted between 1920 and 1923, is interesting because it was the first coin to bear the image of a Danish monarch since the 17th century. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Danish coins, which had previously featured the coat of arms of Denmark. The introduction of the monarch's image on the coin was a symbol of the country's shift towards a more modern and constitutional monarchy.
