Danmarks Nationalbank:

This autumn, Danmarks Nationalbank will release a Passing of the Crown coin featuring portraits of King Frederik X and Queen Margrethe II into circulation. Regular circulation coins featuring a monogram and portrait of King Frederik X are expected to be issued in the second half of 2025.

20-kroner coin for circulation

The new Passing of the Crown coin will be sent into general circulation via cash handling companies to banks and shops, but part of the circulation will be sold to interested parties before it enters circulation.

One side of the coin will feature a portrait of King Frederik X in a right-facing profile.

Along the outer edge will be the words: FREDERIK X • DANMARKS KONGE • 2024 (FREDERIK X • KING OF DENMARK • 2024). In the innermost ring will be the King's motto: FORBUNDNE • FORPLIGTET • FOR KONGERIGET DANMARK (UNITED • COMMITTED • FOR THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK). The mint mark (a heart) will be at the bottom of the coin, along the outer edge. The initials of Danmarks Nationalbank’s general treasurer and chief designer will also appear here.

The other side of the coin will feature a portrait of Queen Margrethe II in profile facing right.

Along the outer edge will be the words: MARGRETHE II • DANMARKS DRONNING. In the innermost ring will be the Queen's reign: 14 JANUARY 1972 - 14 JANUARY 2024. At the bottom of the coin's reverse will be the value: 20 KRONER.

The portrait of King Frederik X was created by sculptor Eva Hjorth.

The portrait of Queen Margrethe II was also created by Eva Hjorth for the coin issued in 2023.

Common circulation coins featuring King Frederik X.

The new circulation coins featuring King Frederik X are expected to be produced as today with a monogram on the 1, 2 and 5-kroner coins and a portrait on the 10 and 20-kroner coins. The 50-øre coin does not carry motifs associated with the current regent, which is why this coin will retain its current look.

No coin set with the new coins featuring King Frederik X. Danmarks Nationalbank no longer produces coin sets.
All current coins will remain valid.
