The heart (♥) is the Royal Danish Mint mark. The use of the heart is a century-old tradition, originally indicating the mint master, later the place of minting. Today, the mint mark serves no practical purpose since Danish coins are minted in only one place.

N: mintmaster's initial of Niels Peter Nielsen (1927-1955).
