Denmark 20 Kroner
The Denmark 20 Kroner is the official currency of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. The name is derived from the word “krone”, which means crown. In addition the official currency symbol: kr. The introduction of the first krone in Denmark dates to 1619. In the 18th century, a new krone was introduced, replacing the Danish rigsdaler. In 1876, a new krone was introduced due to the Scandinavian Monetary Union, of which they are part of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Then in 1914, The Monetary Union was dissolved, and the three states members decided to keep the name on their respective currency.
