Owner Comments:
Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, when it became a district of Denmark. This is not a coin but a fantasy coin issued by Greenland. The obverse of this medal features a seated representation of Dania/Greenlandia. The shield displays the Greenlandic coat of arms. The obverse legend is written in the language of the indigenous Inuit Eskimos called Kalaallisut. Translated, it means "Greenlander Country." The reverse legend is Danish for Greenland. This .999 one ounce silver medal has a mintage of 950.
