5 øre (World War II Danish coin)
Coin used during German occupation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 5 øre coin was made during the German occupation of Denmark. It was first minted in aluminium in 1941, and then from 1942 to 1945 in zinc.[1] The aluminium 5 øre is similar to the zinc variety, although the latter is a little smaller in diameter and heavier in weight.
