Gold Coins from Denmark

Next week on the 15th of February, the new gold coin from Denmark will be issued. This will be the eighth in the series of Tower Gold Coins from Denmark. The first was issued in 2002 and there have been seven issues since then.

The Motif for the new Tower was designed by Sys Hindsbo, the Danish sculptor and graphic artist.

Each of the previous coins features a different tower in Denmark and each was especially chosen for the distinctive function of the tower and the various regions in Denmark one can find them.

As well as this recent tower with Gråsten Palace Bell Tower, the series has included Nólsoy Lighthouse in the Faroe Islands, Landet Church on the island of Tåsinge, Svaneke Water Tower on Bornholm, the Goose Tower in Vordingborg, Christiansborg Palace Tower, the Old Copenhagen Stock Exchange (Børsen) and Aarhus City Hall Tower.

The tower coin, which bears a portrait of the Queen on the obverse, can be used as an ordinary 20-krone coin.

The Danish mint produces some very nice gold and commemorative coins. These can be viewed at New gold coins from Denmark

There is also the Fairy Tale Series with the Ugly Duckling and The Little Mermaid as examples. These are issued in gold, silver and ordinary krone coins.

There also have a range of medals and commemorative coins usually featuring Royalty.

It is expected that there will be new coins to commemorate the birth of to Prince Christian by Frederick and Princess Mary of Denmark in the new future. These will be something to keep an eye out for and as soon as they are announced I will announce it here.
