50 Øre coin (Crown of Christian V)

50 Øre — Crown of Christian V (Issued 1989-2023)

This 50 Øre is a Danish øre coin used in the Faroe Islands at par, since the islands circulate Danish coinage rather than a distinct Faroese one. Struck between 1989 and 2023, it is made from bronze (97% copper, 2.5% zinc, 0.5% tin), which gives it a warm reddish-brown tone typical of small-value pieces. The coin weighs 4.3 g and measures 21.5 mm in diameter, and it is round in shape, serving as a minor denomination in everyday transactions.

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 “♥ 50 ØRE LG ♥ JP”. The whole design is enclosed within an ornamented ring, with a solid ring at the rim.
