25 Øre coin (Crown of Christian V)

25 Øre — Crown of Christian V (Issued 1990-2008)

This 25 Øre is a Danish øre coin that circulated in the Faroe Islands at par, as the islands use Danish coinage rather than a separate Faroese issue. Struck between 1990 and 2008, it is made from bronze (97% copper, 2.5% zinc, 0.5% tin), giving it a warm reddish-brown tone characteristic of the smallest circulating values. The coin weighs 2.8 g and measures 17.5 mm in diameter, making it a compact, round minor denomination that has since been withdrawn from circulation.

The obverse is dominated by the large crown of Christian V in the centre, with the date divided by the top cross of the crown and an inscription placed below. The lettering reads “DANMARK A”, with “DANMARK” translating as “Denmark”. The design sits within a solid ring, and a solid ring runs around the rim.

The reverse carries a large numeral value in the centre, with a heart mintmark above and the denomination below, and a mintmark and initials at the bottom. The lettering reads “♥ 25 ØRE LG ♥ JP”. The whole design is enclosed within an ornamented ring, with a solid ring at the rim.
