About the Frederick VIII Danish Gold Coin

Frederick VIII reigned as King of Denmark from 1906 until his death in 1912. The 20 Kroner gold coin bearing his portrait was produced for just four years, making it one of the shortest and rarest Danish royal gold series. As a Scandinavian Monetary Union member, Denmark's 20 Kroner was interchangeable with Swedish and Norwegian gold pieces of the same standard. Its combination of historical scarcity and solid fine gold content makes it attractive for collectors and bullion holders alike. VAT-exempt across the EU.
