Description obverse

The Queen Margrethe II in profile, facing right. Along the rim is the inscription ‘MARGRETHE II DANMARKS DRONNING’ (Margrethe II Queen of Denmark) and a heart mintmark.

Description reverse

A motif based on symbols referring to the Queen’s motto adopted at the time of her accession and her artistic work in theatrical and commercial costume design. Created by graphic designer Jeanette Skov Jensen, she has depicted a heart encircled by 12 pairs of scissors. The motto is reflected in the heart that represents the people’s love and in the circle symbolising Denmark’s strength. The scissor blades also form the letter M – for Margrethe. Above the primary design are the commemorative years “1940” and “2020” with the face value of the silver coins “20 KRONER” placed below
