<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kvasir, post: 71953, member: 4139&quot;]I don&#039;t have access to my reference until I get home but I can tell you right off my head that they are Icelandic crowns (Krónur). They bare the monogram of Danish King Christian X (1870-1947, reigned 1912-1947), and I assume the R stands for Rex (&quot;king&quot; in latin). Already a danish dependency, Iceland recognised Danish Monarchy as sovereign through the Act of Union in 1918, and Iceland did not become independent until 1947 as a republic. The obverses show the emblem that is already similar to the current Icelandic flag design. The crest features a royal crown above the shield because Iceland was then a monarchy. The present emblem still features the same shield minus the crown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
