I needed to use up my eBay bucks this month and I kept getting outbid on everything. Then I saw this Denmark 2 kroner that I've wanted for quite awhile and always get outbid on and decided to go a little higher since eBay was paying for part of it. Finally I was able to get one. I love this design.
Well, at least Frog and Duckie like it. Is it to commemorate the "40-year anniversary" of the King's reign? It looks Proof Like; but that image is obviously a scan, so I can't tell. Very attractive old-school design. I can see that the woman's thick dress is no match for her very determined nipples(!)
Yes, appears to be 40 years of his reign. I see he died in 1906. The surface looks really nice to me. Not sure how I'd describe it. I'm hoping it isn't cleaned but even if it is I still like it. One of the most attractive coins I've seen I think.
That is one of those coins that I must have for my early 20th century renaissance collection. It would go well with my Russian, French, Romanian, Italian and Portuguese coins.
ohhh I just bought a large foreign collection with good Denmark in it....maybe I can tease you a bit. BTW Very nice coin.
I'm not a huge collector of Denmark but I like the various dolphin coins from around the turn of the 20th century.
