Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1958 Danish 2 Kroner coin commemorating Princess Birgitta's birthday is that it was minted in a unique silver and copper alloy, known as "silver-copper" or ".800 silver" (80% silver, 20% copper). This alloy was commonly used in Danish coinage during the mid-20th century and gives the coin a distinctive warm tone. Additionally, the coin's weight of 15 grams is slightly heavier than a standard 1 krone coin, which adds to its unique character.
