1 Christian d'Or - Christian IX

The Christian d'Or denomination was revived under Christian IX specifically to participate in the Latin Monetary Union framework, even though Denmark never formally joined the union. The 1869 issue was struck at the Copenhagen mint under mintmaster Harald Conradsen, whose initials appear alongside those of engraver Christian Christoffer Christensen.

Denmark's ambiguous relationship with the LMU — close enough to align coin specifications but unwilling to commit politically — reflects the broader uncertainty of Danish foreign policy following the catastrophic loss of Schleswig-Holstein to Prussia in 1864.
