The Danish 20 kroner with the portrait of King Christian X is an original gold circulation coin — not a modern restrike. It contains 8.06 g of fine gold at 900/1000, with a total weight of 8.96 g and a diameter of 23 mm.
Danish 20 kroner of this type were struck in 1913-1917. They were the last Danish gold coins issued for circulation — after 1917 Denmark issued no more circulating gold coins. The coins come from different years and may show signs of circulation.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway formed the Scandinavian Monetary Union as a counterpart to the Latin Monetary Union based on the French 20 francs. The common krone was tied to gold: 2,480 kroner equalled 1 kg of fine gold. The union lasted until the First World War.
The gold content follows from this standard: a 20 kroner coin holds 8.06 g of fine gold — the same in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian coins.
Obverse: portrait of King Christian X facing right and the legend CHRISTIAN X KONGE AF DANMARK — Christian X, King of Denmark.
Reverse: the crowned Danish coat of arms, the value 20 KRONER and the year of striking. The heart mark stands for the Copenhagen Mint.
These are coins over a hundred years old that were in circulation; they may show scratches, wear and differences in toning. The gold content is unaffected. The price is set by the value of 8.06 g of gold at the current gold price and a market premium that depends on year and condition.
The Danish 20 kroner coin meets the EU criteria for VAT-exempt gold coins: fineness of at least 900/1000, struck after 1800, legal tender in the country of origin (the Danish krone was legal tender in Denmark) and sold at no more than 80% above the value of its gold. The legal basis is Article 344 of Directive 2006/112/EC.
