NEW PORTRAIT AF HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARGRTHE II

On special occasions in the Royal House, Danmarks Natio-

nalbank will issue a commemorative coin.

Her Majesty the Queen’s 75th birthday on 16 April 2015

was a special occasion, and therefore a 500-krone silver

coin was issued and a 20-krone coin was issued and put

into general circulation.

By choice of the Queen, the portrait has a personal focus

showing a private side of the Queen without tiara or

jewelry.

The obverse of the coin has been modeled by medalist

Henrik Wiberg at Danmarks Nationalbank. As something

new, he has chosen to show a beautiful, natural and per-

sonal portrait of the Queen in three quarters profile. The

Queen has a present look with a thoughtful and proud

view into both the past and future.

The reverse has been designed by senior graphic designer

Jeanette Skov Jensen at Danmarks Nationalbank. She has

designed a personal coin inspired by the Queen’s beautiful

watercolors with motives from Denmark. The motif chan-

ges between horizon and vertical lines, the weather, and

daytime and seasons – and as ”an extra layer” the Queen’s

personal signature is shown.
