The story behind the coin
The portrait side reads CHRISTIAN X KONGE AF DANMARK and carries the visible date 1916. On the other face, three lions occupy a crowned shield framed by curved ornament, with 2 KRONER below. The paired source photograph records both sides of the same design, including its lightly worn silver-colored surface.

A different coin. The same fair toss.
The artwork changes, but every virtual toss still has a 50/50 chance of heads or tails. We simulate the movement; the result is chosen independently. This is not a simulation of the physical balance of a historical coin.
