| Reverse description | Conjoined busts of Princess Margrethe and Prince Henrik facing right, depicted in overlapping profile with the princess positioned slightly behind and to the left of the prince, her hair styled in an upswept coiffure and adorned with a pearl necklace, while the prince's portrait is rendered with sharp, classical definition. The pairing commemorates their wedding of 10 June 1967. The encircling legend PRINSESSE MARGRETHE · PRINS HENRIK · 10 JUNI 1967 runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 KRONER appears along the lower border. The composition by engraver Frode Bahnsen reflects the refined medallic tradition of the Royal Danish Mint. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the June 1967 marriage of Princess Margrethe to French diplomat Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, this coin appeared just five years before Margrethe would ascend to the Danish throne following her father's death in January 1972. The Royal Danish Mint struck it in .800 silver at a time when Denmark was already phasing precious metals out of its circulating coinage — making this commemorative an intentional exception to an otherwise settled monetary policy.
