The krone coin is the second-smallest denomination of the Danish krone.
The first krone coin was a 0.800 silver coin issued in 1875. It measured 25 millimetres (0.98 in) in diameter and weighed 7.5 grams (0.26 oz). The coin featured King Christian IX of Denmark on its obverse, with the inscription KONGE AF DANMARK (King of Denmark). The reverse featured the coat of arms of Denmark with the denomination written underneath. [1] The coin was minted in the years 1875, 1876, 1892, and 1898. [2]
A second silver krone was minted in 1915 and 1916, with King Christian X of Denmark on the obverse. [3] It was struck to the same specifications as the previous coin. [4]
In 1924, an aluminium-bronze krone featuring the crowned monogram of Christian X on the obverse and the crown again on the reverse was introduced, and it was issued until 1941. [5] It measured 25.5 millimetres (1.00 in) in diameter and 1.8 mm in thickness, and weighed 6.5 grams (0.23 oz). [6]
In 1942 the portrait of the King and his title returned to the obverse, and the reverse featured wheat. This was the first time that a crown (which the coin's name comes from) had been omitted. [7]
The portrait of Christian X was replaced by that of the new King Frederik IX of Denmark in 1947. The crown returned, above the Danish coat of arms. [8]
A cupro-nickel version was introduced in 1960 with the same design except the coat of arms was swapped with the Royal Coat of Arms, a distinct design. [9] Its weight increased to 6.8 grams (0.24 oz). [10] In 1973, the portrait on the coin was changed to the new queen, Margrethe II of Denmark. Her inscription was MARGRETHE II DANMARKS DRONNING (Margrethe II Denmark's Queen). The reverse remained the same.
The present-day design of the coin was first minted in 1992 and introduced into circulation on 26 January 1993. [11] The Queen's monogram and the crown decorate the obverse in a pattern around a central hole, [12] and the reverse is based on pre-historic Danish art. [13] [14] From 2000 onwards there are no mintmarks to the obverse. [15]
The British threepence piece, usually simply known as a threepence, thruppence, or thruppenny bit, was a denomination of sterling coinage worth 1⁄80 of one pound or 1⁄4 of one shilling. It was used in the United Kingdom, and earlier in Great Britain and England. Similar denominations were later used throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth countries, notably in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
The krone is the official currency of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands, introduced on 1 January 1875. Both the ISO code "DKK" and currency sign "kr." are in common use; the former precedes the value, the latter in some contexts follows it. The currency is sometimes referred to as the Danish crown in English, since krone literally means crown. Krone coins have been minted in Denmark since the 17th century.
The Louis d'or is any number of French coins first introduced by Louis XIII in 1640. The name derives from the depiction of the portrait of King Louis on one side of the coin; the French royal coat of arms is on the reverse. The coin was replaced by the French franc at the time of the revolution and later the similarly valued Napoléon. The actual value of the coins fluctuated according to monetary and fiscal policy, but in 1726 the value was stabilized.

The Order of the Dannebrog is a Danish order of chivalry instituted in 1671 by Christian V. Until 1808, membership in the Order was limited to fifty members of noble or royal rank, who formed a single class known as White Knights to distinguish them from the Blue Knights who were members of the Order of the Elephant. In 1808, the Order was reformed and divided into four classes. The statute of the Order was amended in 1951 by a Royal Ordinance so that both men and women could be members of the Order. Today, the Order of the Dannebrog is a means of honouring and rewarding the faithful servants of the modern Danish state for meritorious civil or military service, for a particular contribution to the arts, sciences or business life, or for working for Danish interests.
The coins of the South African rand are part of the physical form of South Africa's currency, the South African rand.
The coins of the South African pound were part of the physical form of South Africa's historical currency, the South African pound. Prior to the Union of 1910, various authorities issued their own pounds, some as independent entities. After the Union but before 1923, coins in circulation were mostly British, but the coins of Paul Kruger's South African Republic remained in circulation. In 1923, South Africa began to issue its own coins, adopting coins that were identical in size and value to those used in Great Britain: 12 pence (12d) = 1 shilling (1s), and 20s = 1 pound (£1). On 14 February 1961, the Union of South Africa adopted a decimal currency, replacing the pound with the Rand.
The Swiss franc has been the currency of Liechtenstein since 1920. The Swiss franc is legal tender since Liechtenstein is in a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. The 1980 treaty between Switzerland and Liechtenstein allows Liechtenstein to mint limited amounts of Swiss francs with a Liechtenstein inscription, but only in the form of commemorative coins, and they are not allowed to issue banknotes.
Commemorative coins have been issued by the Royal Danish Mint in Denmark since 1848.
