Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Denmark. King Christian X, who ruled from 1912 to 1944, was a controversial figure who was accused of being pro-Nazi and collaborating with the German occupation during World War II. Despite this, the coin bearing his image was still in circulation during the war years, and it remains a collectible item among numismatists today.
