Obverse

Crowned mirrored Cx monogram of Christian X divides year, legend around, mintmaster's initials, mint mark and moneyer's initials below.

Mintmaster's initial: HCN (Hans Christian Nielsen, 1919-1927) or N (Niels Peter Nielsen, 1927-1955).

The heart (♥) is the Royal Danish Mint mark (h, Copenhagen). 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.

Moneyers initial: GJ (Knud Gunnar Jensen, 1901-1947).
