The regnal date is positioned at the top of the design, divided by the crown element. The monogram is rendered in a bold, finely detailed style characteristic of mid-twentieth century Danish coinage. |

| Additional information |
Frederik IX came to the Danish throne in 1947 following his father Christian X's death, and this coin type entered production almost immediately after — one of the first circulating issues to bear his effigy. Denmark had only recently emerged from five years of German occupation, and the resumption of normal coinage in copper-nickel marked a deliberate return to pre-war monetary normalcy after the occupation-era zinc and iron substitutes. The KM#841.1 and .2 varieties reflect die modifications made during the twelve-year run, worth attention from specialists working this series.
