From 1st of July 1989 the 5 and 10 Øre coins were not valid anymore and the lowest value became 25 Øre.
In the late of the 1980's the inflation in Denmark finaly stopped. New plans were made for a new series of coins. The plans were all with the high-value coins in a yellow metal like gold, the middle in a white metal like silver, and the low values in red like cobber.
The first coins were a 50 Øre and a 10 Krone, both coined in 1989. During the next years the rest of the coins were issued with the last one - a 2 Krone in 1992.
The 5 Krone coin has awarded a prize to be the most well designed coin for normal use.
Only the 20 Krone and the 10 Krone have changed the portrait of the Queen.
In September 2001 the portrait of the Queen were changed at the high valued coins.
The 20 Krone coin with the new portrait got the same reverse as it has had since it was isued for the first time in 1990, but in August 2003 it was changed:
In 2004 the 10 Krone's reverse was changed to the one used at the 20 Krone coin.
