5 øre (World War II Danish coin)

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. The aluminium 5 øre is similar to the zinc variety, although the latter is a little smaller in diameter and heavier in weight.
