Hi there,

Recently, I got a bulk lot of world coins from someone who doesn't collect them and this was between the other coins:


It's a Danish 2 ore dated 1949, but the strange thing is, that this type of coin has never been minted in 1949!
It's this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6400.html

Could someone please give me an explanation for this?

Mines has a different front and back, please take a look at the link I mentioned above.

the 2nd 9 looks different

Yes it does, I've already used a magnifier glass, but I can't see anything that looks like a '2' a '5', or anything near that 9.

Thank you very much for that picture! After a better look, I saw a very worn little stripe that indicates the 2 in 1942. Thanks again, now the mystery is solved!

It's a pity that you don't show an image of the reverse side.
I do have one KM# 833a but yours does look different.
