    Latest Coin in Danish Ships Series Features Kong Frederik IX Ferry
    May 29, 2012 By Michael Alexander Leave a Comment

    The Danmarks Nationalbank will issue (29th May) their latest coin in the popular “Ships” series which illustrates well-known or distinguished sea-faring vessels in Denmark. The new design features the “Kong Frederik IX” Ferry, built at Elsinore Shipyard. When it was put into service on 16 December 1954 it was the world's largest ferry serving several routes between Denmark and Germany and across the Great Belt. In 1997 it was de-commissioned and for a few years it served as a museum ferry at Nyborg but in 2005, the ferry was eventually scrapped.
