Interesting fact
The 5 Kroner coin from Denmark, featuring King Frederik IX, was designed by the artist Edvard Weie and was in circulation from 1960 to 1972. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was the first coin in Denmark to feature a portrait of a reigning monarch. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring a depiction of the Danish coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. The introduction of a monarch's portrait on the coin was seen as a way to increase the coin's recognizability and to strengthen the connection between the Danish people and their monarch.
