Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II's 50th birthday

Queen Margrethe's 50th birthday on 16 April 1990 was marked with the issue of a commemorative coin.

It was minted in two versions: a 20-krone coin of aluminium bronze, of the same size as an ordinary 20-krone coin, and a 200-krone coin of silver (800 0/00 Ag). The 20-krone coin was minted in an edition of one million, and the 200-krone coin in an edition of 100,855.


The artistic design of the commemorative coin was by medallist Jan Petersen. The commemorative coin was minted by the Royal Danish Mint.
