2 Kroner - Margrethe II Pattern; type IV; with hole

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.
