When I first saw a recently released French 2020 2-Euro coin dedicated to medical research, I knew I had to have it. The coin comes packaged in three unique blister packs, and the maximum mintage is 100,000 coins per pack. The coins are bimetallic with a copper-nickel outer ring and a nickel-brass clad nickel center. They are 25.75 mm in diameter weighing 8.5 grams. Two euros of the 10-euro purchase price will be donated to the Foundation de France.
In all my years of writing blogs, I have simply referred to my former employer as my employer. It was never necessary to my posts for me to reveal my employer until now. Because my employer sent Veterans Day medals to all the veterans on their payroll, it is now necessary to reveal their identity.
The 1890 20 Kroner has a mintage of 102,000. It was minted in Copenhagen, as signified by the heart to the left of the date. The initials CS to the right of the date represent mint official Diderik Christian Andreas Svendsen. The coin struck in .900 fine gold weighs 8.9605 grams and has an AGW of .2593oz.
The 1903 Danish 2 Kroner coin commemorates the 40th anniversary of the reign of Christian IX. The obverse features a right-facing bust of Christian IX, King of Denmark. His reign, 15 November 1863 to 1903, appears around the inner circumference. Underneath the left portion of Christian IX's bust is the coins date of 1903 and a heart signifying that it was minted in Copenhagen. The initial P to the right of the date represents mint master Vilhelm Buchard Poulsen. The initials GJ underneath the right portion of Christian IX's bust is this coin's engraver, Knud Gunnar Jensen.
