Description of obverse and reverse

The dominating decoration is a portrait of the Queen, by in the Sculptor, Professor Mogens Møller, which has been used on coins minted since 2001. Between “Margrethe II” and “Danmarks Dronning” is a small heart, called a mint mark. The year of minting is shown at the bottom of the coin.
The reverse: M/S Selandia, which was built by B&W for the East Asiatic Company in 1912, was the world’s first ocean-going ship powered by diesel. After M/S Selandia grounded and sank near Japan in 1942, several other ships have borne its name. A model of M/S Selandia can also be seen at the DieselHouse.
