Michael Ancher Portrait
Anna Ancher Portrait
The front of the banknote has a double portrait of artists Anna and Michael Ancher (18 August1859 to 15 April1935, and 9 June1849 to 19 September1927). The couple are known for their paintings depicting everyday life in the fishing town of Skagen. The portraits featured on the banknote were inspired by two paintings Danish artist P.S. Krøyer made in 1884. The paintings were originally hung on the walls in the dining room at Brøndums Hotel in Skagen. The anchor background pattern on the banknote does not directly refer to the artists' surname, but to a necklace worn by Anna.
A tournament scene from a sepulchral monument located in Bislev Church in nothern Jutland is the inspiration for the motif on the back of the banknote.
Denmark, however, is nowhere low in the sense in which Holland is; the country is pleasantly diversified, and rises a little at the coast even though it remains flat inland.
The population of Denmark in 1901 was 2,449,540.
In 1901 the average density of the population of Denmark was 165.
Denmark negotiated special "opt-outs" of the Maastricht Treaty that allowed the country to preserve the krone while the majority of the European Union adopted the euro in 1999.
A new referendum held in 2000 reconfirmed the population's attachment to the krone.
The krone is closely pegged to the euro via the ERM II, the European Union's exchange rate mechanism.
