Overview
A copper-colored holed coin with King Christian X's monogram on the obverse and the denomination and country name on the reverse.
Historical significance
Issued during the reign of King Christian X of Denmark, spanning the interwar period and the challenging years of World War II occupation. Holed coins of this era were designed to be easily distinguishable by size and shape from silver coinage.
Obverse (front)
Features the crowned royal monogram of King Christian X (a large 'C' intertwined with 'X' under a royal crown), surrounded by the text 'KONGE AF DANMARK' and a beaded border.
Reverse (back)
Features a central hole with the date '1935' above it, the denomination '5 ØRE' below, the country name 'DANMARK' curved across the top, mint and assayer marks, and a beaded outer border.
Estimated value
$1-$5 in circulated condition, up to $15-$30 in uncirculated Mint State grades.
What drives this coin's value
Overall state of preservation, presence of original mint luster, absence of heavy scratches, corrosion, or cleaning.
Grade assessment
Extremely Fine (XF) to About Uncirculated (AU) with minor wear on the highest points of the design and pleasant original luster.
Mintage & rarity
Common circulation coin for the year 1935.
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Due to its low face value and relatively high mintage, counterfeits are extremely rare. Verify weight and composition if suspicious.
Notable varieties & errors
Standard business strike with no major rare varieties noted for this specific year.
Similar coins
Other Scandinavian holed coins from the early 20th century, such as Norwegian or Swedish øre/öre denominations of similar size.
Care & preservation
Handle by the edges using clean cotton gloves. Store in a cool, dry environment in a PVC-free coin holder or flip. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this damages its numismatic value.
