gold coin (commemorative)

I just ran across a gold commemorative coin it is 25 mm round. weight 9.49g
obverse:
Hans Chr. Andersen 1805-1875 w/ his protrait
reverse:
Kobenhavn den lille havfrue (little mermaid) statue picture
small markings on statue are
m over m in circle followed by A in circle .900

anyone know what this is? I cannot document it anywhere.

Thanks

Sounds like a medal not a coin. It's likely Danish (Denmark). Any idea what the date of issue is? (Not Andersen's birth - death dates.)

The Danmarks Nationalbank issued a series of gold and silver H C Andersen thematic commemorative coins

 

No other markings on the metal. Yes, I believe it is Danish. I wondered if anyone could ID the maker (mint). I want to assume that the .900 is the gold content, am i correct? I would assume the value is in the melt?

 

Most likely, yes, 90% (.900 fineness) gold is indicated by that. Can you upload some images of the piece? Pics really help with ID.

 

Here's a link to other H C Andersen / Little Mermaid coins from the Royal Danish Mint

 

I saw those RDM mint coins but they are only 22mm round. I will see if i can take a picture for you.
