| Reverse description | A stylized allotment garden house rendered in a whimsical, romantic manner occupies the lower portion of the field, its gabled roof surmounted by a decorative weathervane crowned with a royal orb. The numeral 25 appears at the apex of the roofline within a heart motif, symbolizing the silver wedding anniversary. Celestial symbols — a sun to the left, a crescent moon and a star to the right — fill the upper field, evoking a fairytale atmosphere. The circular legend 20 KRONER DANMARK runs along the upper rim, and the mint master's initials LG appear in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Denmark issued this coin to mark the silver wedding anniversary of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik, who married on June 10, 1967. Henrik, born Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat, was a French diplomat and minor aristocrat whose marriage to the Danish heir required him to surrender his French citizenship and adopt a new identity — a transition he publicly resented for much of his life, repeatedly objecting to his title of Prince Consort rather than Prince.
