DENMARK Official Mint - Coin Set 2005

Naval battles and fairy tales are the themes of the 2005 Coin Set.

In addition to the seven ordinary coins in circulation, the coin set includes a medal and the first fairy tale coin. The coins are minted with two strokes. This is one stroke more than the coins in circulation. The more strokes, the more distinct the embossment.

The medal and the fairy tale coin

The medal in the coin set is a copy of the medal awarded to Captain (later Vice Admiral) Olfert Fischer and his men after the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, in which they defended Copenhagen against the British navy. The expression "to turn a blind eye" relates to this battle.

The fairy tale coin in the 2005 Coin Set has a motif from "The Ugly Duckling".

Grade: BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (packed and sealed by the Royal Danish Mint)
