| Additional information |
Trial strikes from the Royal Danish Mint's internal production testing rarely surface in public collections — most were destroyed or retained institutionally. This 1990 piece preceded the circulating 2 Krone series and would have been used to verify die alignment, planchet behavior, and striking pressure before full production runs were authorized.
KM#Pr70 is sparsely documented in the standard references, which is not unusual for Danish proof and pattern material of this period.
