| Reverse description | Central field depicts two swans in a stylised, high-relief composition evoking the transformation scene from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Ugly Duckling', with one bird spreading its wings and both rendered against a textured aquatic background suggestive of reeds and water. The design is contained within a raised inner circle, with the surrounding annular border bearing the inscriptions H. C. ANDERSEN 1805-2005 to the upper portion, commemorating the bicentenary of Andersen's birth, and the denomination 10 KRONER along the lower arc. The artistic treatment is boldly sculptural, with deeply modelled forms contrasting against the smooth field of the inner disc. |
