In the nearly 35 years King Christian was the king of Denmark 5 commemorative coins have been coined.
The first coin with the portrait of King Christian X is the commemorative coin from 1912, which is a 2 Krone made of silver, coined to celebrate the accession of the new king.
The coin was used in the normal circulation.Since 1924, where the monetary-union between the Scandinavian countries had ended, the silver-coins were not used in the normal cirkulation.
Because of the silverwedding of Queen Alexandrine and King Christian X in 1926, a new silver 2 Krone was coined. It could be seen in the normal cirkulation.
4 years later - 1930 - King Chritian X was celebrating his 60th birthday. The portrait of the king is the same as used when he was entering the throne as a 42 years old man.
The portrait was newed at the commerative coin, which was coined to celebrate that King Christian had been king of Denmark for 25 years in 1937.
The last silver 2 Krone coined during the reing of King Christian X was issued September the 26th 1945 to celebrate his 75th birthday.
This coin was also the last silvercoin you have been able to see used for normal payments in Denmark.
