50-krone banknote, 2009 series

The 50-krone banknote, depicting the bridge the Sallingsund Bridge and the clay vessel from Skarpsalling, was issued on 11 August 2009.

The theme of the banknotes is Danish bridges and the surrounding landscapes, or details from these landscapes. The artist Karin Birgitte Lund has chosen to interpret this theme in two ways: bridges as links between various parts of Denmark and as links between the past and the present.

The present is represented by the bridges, the past by five distinctive prehistoric objects found near the bridges.
