The Evolution of Old Danish Banknotes: From the Krone to the Bridge Series

Before 1875, Denmark used the rigsdaler . The National Bank of Denmark , founded in 1818, introduced the Danish krone (DKK) in 1875, divided into 100 øre. The first old 10-krone banknotes , issued in 1875, featured Queen Louise and the royal coat of arms. In 1944, the series with portraits of kings was launched. The 2009 Series (Bridge) , designed by Karin Birgitte Lund, includes Danish bridges and archaeological artifacts. The transition to polymer banknotes began in 2024 with the 100-krone note .

Preservation and Authenticity of Old Banknotes: Our Promise

Preservation is essential in our selection of vintage Danish banknotes . Each piece is graded on standard scales such as VF (Very Fine) or UNC (Uncirculated), preserving details like watermarks with the royal coat of arms, fluorescent fibers, and the signatures of the Governor of the National Bank. We recommend that collectors of rare vintage banknotes verify their integrity under UV light, where elements such as the map of Denmark will glow in shades of yellow or green. At Iberoamericana Banknotes , all our pieces come from verified sources, avoiding common forgeries found in replicas of the 1875 series.
