| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Margrethe II occupies the central field, rendered in refined relief with delicate facial detail and a tiara crown. The portrait is set against a smooth, polished field characteristic of proof-quality gold coinage. The circular legend MARGRETHE II · DANMARKS DRONNING arcs around the upper periphery, while the year 2007 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The design reflects the work of engraver Lisbeth Nielsen in a restrained, classical style befitting a modern Danish commemorative issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a nightingale perched on a flowering branch, rendered in fine detail against a smooth gold field, evoking the fairy tale 'The Nightingale' by Hans Christian Andersen. To the left, vertical bars suggest the bars of the Emperor's court or a cage, referencing the story's narrative. Two Chinese characters appear in the upper right corner, alluding to the tale's oriental setting. The legend H.C. ANDERSEN 1805-2005 arcs across the upper portion of the field, commemorating the bicentenary of Andersen's birth, while the denomination 10 KRONER is inscribed along the lower margin. |
