25 Øre Frederik IX Denmark

Issued in 1972 during the reign of King Frederik IX, this Danish 25 Øre coin was struck for regular circulation in copper-nickel. It weighs 4.3 grams, measures 23 mm in diameter, and features Denmark’s distinctive central hole, a hallmark of its modern coinage.

The obverse displays the crowned royal monogram of King Frederik IX alongside the date, framed by a graceful beech branch. The design reflects Denmark’s royal heritage while maintaining the clean, functional style characteristic of Scandinavian coinage.

The reverse features the large denomination “25” above the central hole, with “ØRE” below and barley ears flanking the opening. The inscription “DANMARK” completes the design, creating a balanced and instantly recognizable national coin type.

As one of Denmark’s final circulating coins issued under King Frederik IX, this piece holds lasting appeal for collectors of Scandinavian coinage, world circulation coins, and holed coin designs. Its refined artistry and historical significance make it an excellent addition to any international collection.
