Banknotes of Denmark, 1972 series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1972 series of banknotes issued by Denmark are still valid but are no longer printed. The theme of the notes is common animals in Denmark on the back sides and paintings by Jens Juel (1745-1802) of various more or less famous people on the front sides.
