| Additional information |
Denmark's 1941 coinage was struck under the shadow of German occupation, which had begun in April 1940. The Germans initially permitted the Danish government to retain administrative function, including monetary operations, making these issues a rare case of occupied-nation coinage produced with full institutional continuity. That arrangement grew increasingly nominal as the war dragged on — by August 1943, Germany dissolved the Danish government entirely and assumed direct control.
KM#822.2 distinguishes itself from the earlier .1 variety by a modified reverse die introduced in 1941.
