Overview
A golden-colored aluminum-bronze coin featuring the royal monogram of King Christian X on one side and the Danish crown with the denomination on the other.
Historical significance
Issued during the reign of King Christian X, who reigned from 1912 to 1947, a period that included World War II and the German occupation of Denmark. Aluminum-bronze was adopted for minor coinage due to metal shortages.
Obverse (front)

Reverse (back)

Estimated value
$2 - $15 depending on condition
What drives this coin's value
Overall state of preservation, presence of original mint luster, absence of deep scratches or corrosion, and specific year/mint mark combinations.
Grade assessment
Fine to Very Fine, showing moderate wear on the high points of the design but clear lettering and details.
Mintage & rarity
Common, mintage of several million for this year
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Check weight, diameter, and metallic composition. Genuine aluminum-bronze has a distinct golden tone and specific density. Counterfeits are rare for this denomination due to low face value.
Notable varieties & errors
Minor die cracks or repunched mint marks occasionally found by specialists, though major major errors are scarce.
Similar coins

Care & preservation
Handle by the edges with clean hands or cotton gloves. Store in a cool, dry place in a PVC-free coin holder or flip. Do not clean, as cleaning damages the original surfaces and reduces collector value.
