| Reverse description | The large numeral 10 dominates the left and central field, rendered in the standard Euro cent typographic style with radiating lines in the background. To the right, a crowned equestrian figure — depicted in medieval style reminiscent of a royal seal — rides a horse facing right. Eleven stars of the European Union arc along the upper rim, with additional stars continuing around the lower periphery. An oval cartouche in the lower central field bears the word SPECIMEN, identifying this as a presentation or trial piece rather than a circulation issue. |

| Additional information |
Denmark's øre and krone coinage was overhauled in the early 2000s partly in response to the country's 2000 referendum rejecting euro adoption — a decision that kept the krone sovereign but required continued investment in domestic coinage infrastructure that most neighboring states were abandoning. The 10-cent denomination here is anomalous: Denmark has no "cent" unit, which suggests this piece may be a pattern, a fantasy issue, or a token struck for a specific venue or event rather than a Nationalbanken circulation issue.
