Except for the period 2002-2013 on Danish coinage next to the heart - the mint mark of the Royal Mint of Denmark, also initials of mint's directors (usually before the heart) and of main engravers (usually after the heart) were placed. Thus the following combinations are found on the modern coins: N♥S, C♥S, S♥S, S♥B, B♥B, R♥B, NR♥JP, LG♥JP, JS♥HW. Let's meet the people standing behind these initials:

mint directors			chief engravers

C	1956-1971	Alfred Frederik Christiansen	B	1968-1983	Frode Bahnsen
S	1971-1978	Vagn Sørensen	JP	1989-2001	Jan Petersen
