EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard featuring a charming set of Icelandic coins from the 1930s. The image showcases a collection of Icelandic currency, ranging from the 1 Eyrir to the 2 Kronur denominations. The coins bear the monogram of King Christian X on one side, while the other side displays the respective coin denomination. King Christian X reigned as the King of Denmark from 1912 until his death in 1947. During this period, Iceland was under Danish rule, and the Danish crown issued the currency for Iceland. The design of these coins is reminiscent of the Danish coins of the time, reflecting the historical connection between the two countries. The coins in this set were likely in circulation during the 1930s, a decade marked by significant economic challenges worldwide. Despite these challenges, the design of the Icelandic coins remained consistent, showcasing the monogram of King Christian X and the denomination in both Icelandic and Danish. The flags of Iceland and Denmark can be seen in the background of the postcard, further emphasizing the historical ties between the two countries. This set of Icelandic coins is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the monetary history of Iceland during the 1930s.
