25 Øre - Christian X

Denmark's interwar coinage was shaped significantly by the aftermath of World War I and the 1924 monetary reform that sought to restore the krone to its prewar gold parity — a painful deflationary policy that kept wages and prices under sustained pressure through much of the late 1920s. The copper-nickel 25 øre series was part of that reformed coinage, replacing earlier bronze issues as Denmark modernized its small denomination circulation.

The type survived long enough to circulate under German occupation from 1940 to 1945, when the Nazis maintained the existing Danish monetary administration as a matter of occupation policy rather than disrupting it outright.
