The detailed portrait depicts the Queen Margrethe II facing right wearing a couture-designed hat, flower ear rings and casual dress.

The heart (♥) after 2 in the legend 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.
