Tavex is pleased to offer the 10 kroner Frederik VIII gold coin, part of Denmark’s most treasured gold coin series. Danish 10 kroner were first struck in 1873 following the establishment of what would become the world’s most successful gold-backed monetary agreement, the Scandinavian Currency Union. The 10 kroner are of great historical importance as they were the foundation of this union that ushered in four decades of prosperity, stability and peace – an epoch embodied in these durable 21.6 karat gold coins. Masterfully crafted by the Royal Danish Mint, the 10 kroner Frederik VIII gold coin is decorated with the rich coat of arms of Denmark and gilded with an effigy of the king himself. It can therefore been seen that the 10 kroner gold coins are priceless heirlooms of Denmark’s history, making perfect gifts or collector’s items.
King Frederik VIII depicted on the second version of the 10 kroner gold coin
Frederik was born in 1843 in the Yellow Palace in Copenhagen. He was the eldest son of King Christian IX and the second king to be depicted on the 10 kroner gold coin. Following his military education he became Crown Prince of Denmark and received a seat in the State Council where he assisted his father in different governmental duties. In 1868, he married Princess Louise of Sweden who belonged to the Bernadotte dynasty, the same royal dynasty to which the current Swedish King Carl XVI Gustav belongs. Princess Louise was the first Swedish princess to be married into the Danish royal house since the 15th century and their marriage was seen as a way of creating friendship between Denmark and Sweden. Frederik served besides his father as crown prince for 43 years and ascended to the throne following his father’s death in 1906. The first 10 kroner gold coin to carry his effigy was released in 1908 and was stopped in 1912 when Frederik passed away. King Frederik VIII is remembered as a liberal ruler who, unlike his father, supported the new Danish parliamentarian system of government.
The obverse portrays King Frederik VIII. Around his effigy is the text “FREDERIK VIII DANMARKS KONGE” which translates as “Frederik VIII Denmark’s King”.
The reverse depicts the coat of arms of Denmark. It is extremely rich in detail and contains different animals on a shield draped with an ermine cape and topped with a crown. The animals are a symbolic representation of individual regions of the kingdom. The coat of arms is half encircled by the year of mintage, the denomination “10 kroner”, a small heart, which is the mark of the Royal Danish Mint, and the signature of the master engraver “VBP”.
Each coin is individually packaged in a hard plastic capsule if desired.
