The Internet shop is a great success and it is our impression that customers worldwide welcome this easy and secure way to buy collector’s coins and coin sets. Our website provides information about and pictures of all coins minted in Denmark. This little catalogue is therefore meant as a service to customers without Internet access. The catalogue includes the pictures and descriptions of collector’s coins currently found at www.royalmint.dk. Updated catalogues will be published from time to time. To order coins, fill in the enclosed form and send it to the Royal Danish Mint, or call us on telephone (+45) 43 45 40 11, Monday- Friday 8.30-11.00 a.m. and 1.00-2.30 p.m. 2
News from the Royal Danish Mint Coin Set 2009 As usual, the Coin Set is minted in two versions, an ordinary version and a proof version, which is an especially fine quality. Both sets include a medal. Read more about Coin Sets on p. 7. Coins in circulation So far, banks have, for a short period every year, been able to order and receive all coins in the Danish series minted that year. However, in connection with the abolition of the 25-øre coin, the Royal Danish Mint has also received a considerable number of other coins. The stocks have been so large that it was not necessary to mint all denominations for circulation in 2009. The following denominations were not minted in 2009: 50 øre, 2 kroner and 5 kroner. Presumably it will not be necessary to mint all denominations for circulation in 2010 either. From 2009 onwards it has been decided to cease to offer delivery of the year’s coins in rolls. It should be added that all denominations are included in the Coin Set for Children 2009, which was issued in January 2009, and in the ordinary Coin Set 2009, as well as the proof version. Coin Fair On 31 October 2009, the Royal Danish Mint took part in the Copenhagen Coin Fair at the Radisson SAS Falconer Hotel in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. At the Fair, the sketches for the seventh ship coin, which was issued on 2 November, were presented. The sculptor Hans Pauli Olsen, who designed the motif, was present at the Fair. Seventh Ship Coin On 2 November 2009, Danmarks Nationalbank issued the seventh coin in the ship series. Its motif was a characteristic Faroese boat. The motif for the new ship coin was designed by the sculptor Hans Pauli Olsen, who is himself Faroese. The Royal Danish Mint has been working with Hans Pauli Olsen for several years, and he was also the artist behind the motifs of the Ugly Duckling, the Christiansborg Palace Tower and Nólsoy Lighthouse.
