| Additional information |
Struck to mark the January 1964 marriage of Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark to King Constantine II of Greece, this issue was authorized as Denmark's first royal wedding commemorative coin of the modern era. Anne-Marie was just eighteen at the time of the wedding, making her one of the youngest queens consort in postwar European history. Constantine's reign would last only three years before the 1967 military coup ended the Greek monarchy in all but name, and the couple spent the following decades in exile — first in Rome, then London.
