This coin was minted in Greenlandic gold, from the Nalunaq mine in southern Greenland, as the first coins ever to be minted in gold from Greenland. This gold is said to have a redish hue to it.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1000 Kroner - Margrethe II (4th Portrait- Northern Light - Gold issue) 2009 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design that showcases the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, on the reverse side of the coin. This design is particularly notable because it was created using a special technique that involves applying a thin layer of 24-karat gold to the coin's surface, giving it a distinctive shimmer and shine. This feature not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a symbol of the natural beauty and wonder of the Northern Lights, which are a popular tourist attraction in Denmark and other parts of the Nordic region.
