The wedding of HRH Crown Prince Frederik and Miss Mary Donaldson

Two wedding coins – with denominations of 20- and 200-kroner - was issued to mark the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik and Miss Mary Donaldson. This is in line with the tradition to issue commemorative coins in connection with special events in the Royal Family.

The sculptor Karin Lorentzen is the artist behind the wedding coins, which show a twin portrait of Crown Prince Frederik and Miss Mary Donaldson facing right.


The 20-krone coin is of the same size and alloy as the ordinary 20-krone coin in circulation. It is minted in an edition of 1.2 million coins. The 200-krone coin is somewhat larger and is minted in fine silver in an edition of 125,000 coins.

The motif on the other side of the wedding coins is a profile of the Queen.
