The second fairy tale coin 'The Little Mermaid' was issued on 20 October 2005. The motif is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Little Mermaid'.
The Fairy tale coin was issued as a 10-krone in three different versions - a gold, a silver and in an ordinary 10-krone.
A 10-krone coin in gold (900 Au) with diameter 22.0 mm, weight 8.65 g, and alloy 900‰ Au (gold).
A 10-krone coin in fine silver with diameter 38,0 mm, weight 31,1 g, and alloy 999‰ Ag (fine silver).
An ordinary 10-krone coin in the same size and alloy as the ordinary 10-krone coin in circulation.
The motif on the coin is designed by the sculptor Tina Maria Nielsen, who was also the artist behind the Goose Tower coin, the fourth in the series of thematic coins with towers on the reverse. |
