On 18 March 2011, Danmarks Nationalbank will be issued a new 20-krone coin with the container vessel Emma Mærsk as its motif.
The Emma Mærsk coin is issued in an edition of 0.8 million. It is of the same size and alloy as the ordinary 20-krone coin in circulation. The obverse of the coin shows a profile of the Danish Queen.
When she was launched in 2006, Emma Mærsk was the largest and longest container vessel ever built. Emma Mærsk maintains a regular service between the Far East and Europe through the Suez Canal.
The artist behind the coin is the sculptor Torben Ebbesen. He was also the artist behind the ship coin with M/S Selandia and the H.C. Andersen Nightingale fairy tale coin.
The coin will be on sale from selected banks and from the website of the Royal Danish Mint.
A proof version will also be issued for collectors. The price for the proof version, delivered in a box, will be DKK 125.00, including VAT.
The proof version can only be purchased from Danmarks Nationalbank, Banking Services, or from http://www.royalmint.dk in the period from 18 to 23 March.
