10-krone - 2022 - Uncirculated coin (roll of 20 pcs)

Obverse
The obverse depicts a portrait of the Queen, in keeping with tradition for the highest denominations in a Danish coin series. The portrait is the work of the Sculptress, Lis Nogel, and was used on the commemorative issued to mark the Queen´s 70th birthday. Between "Margrethe II" and "Danmarks Dronning" is a small heart, called a mint mark. The mint mark is a heart indicating the issuing authority, The Royal Danish Mint in Copenhagen. The year of minting is shown at the bottom of the coin.

Reverse
​From 2013 onwards the motives on the reverse of the 10-krone coin have been given a new look based on the original design from 1989. The reverse shows three lions and nine hearts surrounded by a circle with a crown at the top of the circle. Around the circle is shown an ornamentation. The original reverse which was circulated from 1989-2002 was made by Johan Alkjær whereas the new updated version is made by Nationalbankens' own designteam.​
