Motifs
The motif on the face of the banknote is inspired by Art Nouveau and consists of interwoven figures of five.
The reverse consists of a base of three pale grey guilloched rosettes with slightly smaller blue guilloched rosettes. The word guilloche is French and is used to describe the machine-engraved geometrical ornaments which were part of the graphic security features of the banknote.
The small coat of arms is displayed in the middle. It consists of three lions and nine hearts under one crown. The three crowned lions have been used by Danish kings for the last 800 years. In the 16th century the number of hearts was set at nine. The hearts may not be hearts at all, but heraldic lily leaves (floating hearts), which in turn may be derived from linden leaves.
