| Aanvullende informatie |
Iceland struck zinc coinage in 1942 because the German occupation of Denmark had severed normal supply lines and strategic metals were unavailable. The shift from copper-zinc alloy to unalloyed zinc was a wartime expedient, not a monetary reform. Christian X, though king of an occupied Denmark, remained on Icelandic coinage — Iceland had only established its own government in 1940 and would not become a republic until 1944, when the union with Denmark was formally dissolved while the king sat under German house arrest in Copenhagen.
