| Reverse description | A stylized cross surmounted by the Danish Royal Crown occupies the center of the field, rendered in a bold, decorative artistic style. The crown is depicted in high relief with intricate crosshatched and floral detailing, its arches supporting a central orb. The commemorative legend DANSK MØNT arcs across the upper field and the date range 995-1995 appears along the lower right, both inscribed in the same runic-inspired decorative script as the obverse, marking the millennium anniversary of Danish coinage. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of Margrethe II's accession in 1972, this coin was part of Denmark's ongoing practice of using circulation commemoratives to mark royal milestones rather than producing separate bullion or proof-only issues. Aluminium bronze was chosen deliberately to keep the piece in everyday use — a policy the Nationalbanken maintained through much of the 1990s to drive actual handling of commemorative coinage rather than hoarding.
