Reverse description
The focal point of the motif on the reverse is an organic pattern created by the number 50 to symbolize the celebration of the Golden Jubilee. The pattern calls to mind the four palaces of Amalienborg and Amalienborg Square. At the center, the Queen`s monogram is encircled by the pattern in a tight composition. Texts are placed along the axes of Amalienborg Square.
