What is the oldest Danish coin?

The coin to the left is Swedish and the right one is Danish. The oldest known Danish coin is a penny (penning) struck AD 825–840, but the earliest systematic minting produced the so-called korsmønter (lit. 'cross coins') minted by Harald Bluetooth in the late 10th century.

Where were Danish coins minted?

Organised minting in Denmark was introduced on a larger scale by Canute the Great in the 1020s. Lund (now in Sweden) was the principal minting place and one of Denmark's most important cities in the Middle Ages, but coins were also minted in Roskilde, Slagelse, Odense, Aalborg, Århus, Viborg, Ribe, Ørbæk and Hedeby.

Why are Denmark coins so valuable?

The rich cultural and historical heritage of Denmark is reflected in its coins, making them unique and valuable collectibles. One reason why Denmark coins are attractive to investors is their rarity. Many Denmark coins were produced in limited quantities, making them difficult to find and increasing their value.
