| Obverse description | Two crowned royal monograms of Queen Margrethe II flank a central hole enclosed within a solid inner ring. The date 1986 is divided and appears on either side of the upper monogram, with the mintmark and mint master's initials positioned at the upper left. The inscription PRØVE (meaning 'pattern' or 'trial') appears in incuse lettering at the lower left of the field. The entire design is contained within a solid beaded border, with an additional solid ring along the rim. |

| Additional information |
Denmark's holed coinage series went through multiple design iterations before final approval, and this 1986 pattern represents one of the later rejected configurations tested by the Nationalbank before the circulating 2 Krone type was settled. Pattern coinages of this kind were produced in very limited numbers for internal evaluation — surviving examples outside institutional collections are genuinely uncommon. The Type IV designation places it late in the sequence of trials, suggesting earlier proposals had already been dismissed on aesthetic or technical grounds.
