Copenhagen: Denmark has introduced new coins that now give Greenland its own separate place on the currency. Earlier, Greenland shared space with the Faroe Islands. The new coins have been issued since December 202,5 after King Frederik X took over the throne in 2024. According to the Danish National Bank, the coins feature designs linked to the new king, following long-standing tradition. The 10 and 20 kroner coins carry King Frederik X's new royal coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms includes four symbols representing Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and South Jutland, showing the unity of the Danish realm. For the first time, Greenland and the Faroe Islands appear as separate symbols. Officials said this change reflects the importance of both territories, as the coins are used across Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

00:55Kongevåbnet består af Christian V's kongekrone øverst.
01:00Kongevåbnet så fire våbenskjold.
01:02Det danske våbenskjold.
01:05Det fræøske våbenskjold, det grønlandske våbenskjold og så det sønderjyske.
01:10Og det for at fagne helt.
01:15Og det hele rigsfællesskabet, at man har sat de elementer på våbenskjold.
01:20For the first time, Greenland has its own separate place on Tanisha.
01:25Earlier, Greenland and the Faroe Islands shared the same.
01:30The same symbol.
01:35In the first time, there is the grønlandske våbenskjold.
01:39It is actually not the same.
01:40It is not the first time there is the grønlandske motive on the mønter.
01:42It is also on the mønter with Dronning Margrethe II.
01:45Hendes kongevåben hadde også det.
01:50Det grønlandske motiv på sig dog knyttet sammen med det fræøske, der kom.
01:55Kongehuset etablerede et nyt kongevåben,
01:57besluttede man sig for at dele det i to,
01:59så færøerne fik en.
02:00Grønland fik en selvsindelig plads,
02:01og Grønland fik en selvsindelig plads.
02:03Altså, vi valgte jo at bruge...
02:05...det nye kongevåben på de nye mønter,
02:07primært som følge af det.
02:10Det er den her relevans til den siddende regent.
02:13Men vi synes jo også, det er fint.
02:15Når nu det er mønter, der også bruges i hele rigsfællesskabet...
02:20Altså, både på færøerne og i Grønland,
02:22så synes jeg også, det er rigtig fint, at der...
02:25...det at bruge kongevåbenet også er kommet motiver,
02:27der er direkte knyttet til de to områder.
