1 Øre - Christian X

Denmark's øre denominations faced persistent questions of economic utility throughout the interwar period, and the 1-øre was no exception — its purchasing power had eroded so substantially by the 1930s that the coin's continued production was largely a matter of accounting convention rather than practical commerce. Christian X's reign spanned both World War I's inflationary aftermath and the German occupation beginning in 1940, which effectively ended this type's production run.
