Overview

The obverse features the crowned monogram of King Frederik IX (F R IX) with the date divided on either side. The reverse (not shown) typically features the denomination and the mint mark.

Historical significance

Issued during the reign of Frederik IX, this coin was part of the standard circulation currency in Denmark. Zinc was used for lower denominations during this era, often reflecting post-WWII material trends and economic considerations for small change.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $1.00 USD (heavily dependent on condition; the pictured specimen shows significant wear/oxidation)

Care & preservation

Zinc coins are prone to 'zinc pest' or white oxidation. Keep in a dry, low-humidity environment. Do not clean with chemicals or abrasives, as this can destroy the surface and value; store in an acid-free holder.
