Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the German occupation of Denmark during World War II. The coin's design, featuring King Christian X, was created by the Danish sculptor, Einar Utzon-Frank, and was used on the Faroe Islands' coinage from 1941 to 1943. Despite the occupation, the coin's design remained unchanged, and it continued to be used even after the war ended. This coin serves as a piece of history, representing the resilience and endurance of the Danish people during a difficult period.
