Currency - Krone (DKK)

 

This is an odd note of 500 krone with the combination signatures of Lars Rohde and Bolette Moller. When I bought this note, I was hoping to complete the signature series of Lars Rohde and Lars G Sorensen. Obviously, to my disappointment, it was not the case. The signatures of Lars Rohde and Lars G Sorensen was issued with the year date of (nd)2016, and obviously, I missed this note. To complete this series, I also need the 1000 kroner (nd)2013 print too. I guess my boat has sailed unless I am willing to pay a high price for these missing two notes. Collecting Danish's modern notes are tough as it has so many signature combinations, just like those Mexican notes. So, needless to say, this would be my last note from Denmark, unless I can get them in a full set or if commemorative notes are issued.

This is a Bridge series first started in 2009.
