This classic European numismatic issue is highly celebrated for its artistic engraving style and sophisticated security details. This lot offers a complete view of both the obverse and reverse sides, allowing for absolute verification of its pristine state of preservation. The obverse features an extraordinarily sharp, high-relief portrait engraving of Engelke Charlotte Ryberg on the right, from a famous painting by Danish artist Jens Juel. The centre fields prominently display the denomination "50" inside an ornate guilloché medallion, beneath the bold title "DANMARKS NATIONALBANK". Symmetrical registration elements, elegant cursive typography spelling out "Femti Kroner", and crisp signatures anchor the bottom margin, balanced by the bright red serial number on the upper left. The reverse showcases a magnificent wildlife scene featuring a highly detailed engraving of a Crucian carp fish (Carassius carassius), based on an illustration by Danish naturalist and illustrator Jens Juel. The background is framed by highly complex, multi-coloured wavy geometric patterns that create an incredible security field. The lower margin states the series identification "SERIE 1972" alongside the official legal reference text in Danish.
