500 kroner – HM Queen Margrethe II´s 50th jubilee

On the front of the coin, there is a new portrait of HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark made by sculptor Kathrine S. Moseholm. The portrait shows the Queen in profile, facing right. It is inspired by paper cuttings and is rooted in the Minimalist sculpture tradition. On the reverse, there is an organic pattern created by the number 50 as a symbol of the 50th anniversary. The pattern creates a visual reference to the four palaces around Amalienborg Square. The motif on the reverse has been created by Jeanette Skov Jensen, Danmarks Nationalbank's Senior Graphic Designer.
