Interesting fact
The 2 Øre coin from Denmark, issued during the German occupation (1942-1947), features King Christian X on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. This coin was made of zinc and weighs 3.2 grams. Interestingly, the coin was designed by the Danish artist and sculptor, Knud V. Petersen, who also designed several other coins and medals for Denmark during this period. Despite being issued during a time of occupation, the coin still bears the name of the Danish king and the country's coat of arms, symbolizing Denmark's resilience and determination to maintain its national identity.
