| Obverse description | The obverse displays the crowned royal cypher of King Christian X of Denmark, consisting of the interlaced initials C and X rendered in an elegant serif style and occupying the central field. Above the monogram sits a detailed Danish royal crown in high relief. Flanking the cypher to the left and right are two small ornamental cross-pommee mint marks. The date and engraver's initials appear along the lower periphery, with the mintmaster's initials and heart privy mark at the lower left, all enclosed within a fine beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Christian X came to the Danish throne in 1912, and this bronze issue spans the years his government navigated Danish neutrality through the First World War — a period that disrupted metal supplies across European mints and made consistent bronze coinage production genuinely complicated. Denmark's careful neutrality kept the mint functioning where others faltered, though wartime commodity pressures were real.
KM#812 saw its run end in 1923 as postwar monetary reforms began reshaping Scandinavian coinage policy.
