Comment
Vagn Sorensen, Master of Coinage (1971-1978)Harald Salomon, monetary magistrate 1930-1966('71)
Interesting fact
The 5 Øre 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. Prior to its introduction, Danish coins had featured generic images of a king or queen, rather than a specific monarch. This change in design was seen as a way to modernize the currency and to emphasize the importance of the monarchy in Danish society.
