Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant change in Denmark's monetary system. In 1947, the country replaced its old currency, the Danish krone, with a new version that was pegged to the US dollar. This change was made to stabilize the Danish economy after World War II. As a result, coins like the 2 Kroner - Frederik IX 1947-1959, which were minted during this time, are now considered collectibles and can be valuable to numismatists.
