Historical context
Denmark joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union in 1873, sharing the krone standard with Sweden and Norway. The krone is the official currency of the Kingdom of Denmark, introduced on 1 January 1875. Both the ISO code "DKK" and currency sign "kr." are in common use; the former precedes the value, the latter in some contexts follows it. The currency is sometimes referred to as the Danish crown in English, since krone literally means crown. Krone coins have been minted in Denmark since the 17th century. (Description from Wikipedia: Danish krone; details apply to the illustrated example, not every object of this type.)
