Danish 2-kroner coins.

I like this one.

These aren't often seen in nice condition.

I like these coins, Danish coins are so beautiful and I remember thinking they sort of curious because some of them have holes in them. I have some 19th century medals from Denmark, but the banknotes from there are a main draw for me.

We forget so fast today.

 

Great presentation as usual Eugene. I always enjoy seeing different parts of your collection. Thanks for posting them.

Thanks for your kind words, gentlemen!

 

I like coins with ships on them. :thumb:

 

Denmark is currently issuing a series of twelve circulating 20 kr commems with famous or characteristic ships. 11 have already been issued since 2007; the last one comes later this year: http://royalmint.dk/dkm/UK/Themes.nsf/side/Ship_coins_!OpenDocument

This Danish but from one of the Danish island what one??? maybe some one here can tell me?

 

Further south, and further west. "Zeelandia" is the (Latinized name of the) Dutch province of Zeeland. The Danish capital Copenhagen for example is on an island that has basically the same name, but that would be Sjælland ...

:thumb: this one too???

 

where is the one with the swinging king?

 

You mean this one ? ( 1 krona only, but Sweden will keep up the 2 kronor soon again ).

 

Maybe, I'm not sure.

 

Wow, I really like the design of your 1903 40th Anniversary 2 Kroner. I don't think I have seen this issue before. Thanks for sharing. My shopping list just grew a little.

I heard he likes to dansk.

 

Looks very Danish to me. Interestingly it was minted in Hamburg (well, in Altona which today is part of Hamburg). Michael Flor - see the initials M.F. - was the Danish mintmaster there.
