For the second banknote in the 2009 series, we go to two places in Denmark:
 |
detailed map of denmark - island Fænø in the middle |
On the north of the map, a bridge between
Snoghøj on the Jutland side to Middelfart on Funen.
The bridge depicted on the front side of the 100 DKK-note, is the "Old Little Belt Bridge" (
Den gamle Lillebæltsbro). The bridge was opened in 1935.

100 DKK (about € 13,5) |
We see in the left corner a kind of holographic image, which returns on the reverse side of the note.
 |
detail 100 DKK |
 |
Hindgavl Dagger on 100 DKK |
The image in detail is the Hindgavl Dagger, an artefact from 1900 - 1700 BC. It was found on the island Fænø; an island in the heart of Denmark.
It's an amazing artifact from Denmarks neolithic era. The blade of the dagger is hardly 1 cm thick.
It can be admired in the National Museum of Denmark, in Kopenhagen.
