2009 Coin Set


Once again, the annual Coin Set, which was issued on 28 September 2009, has a maritime theme.

The medal
Besides the six coins in circulation, the set includes a medal. As always, the obverse of the medal is the mint mark of the Royal Danish Mint, a heart under a crown, while the reverse is a copy of a medal issued in1732 by King Christian VI.

It depicts Neptune admiring the Naval fleet, which had been boosted and strengthened by the King. The motif of Neptune dashing across the sea in a chariot drawn by horses has been used on several Nordic medals.



The coin set is minted in two versions
The ordinary Coin Set includes the six coins in circulation after the withdrawal of the 25-øre coin in October 2008. The presentation of the coins has been adjusted accordingly so that the set looks slightly different than in previous years. This set includes the medal in Nordic gold.

The coins are minted with several strokes and are thus more clearly embossed than the ordinary coins in circulation. The Coin Set is minted in a limited edition.

The recommended retail price is DKK 200 for the ordinary version and DKK 875 for the proof version.
