The 2 øre coin was made during the German occupation of Denmark between 1941 and 1945, and then by the Danish government in 1947. It was first minted in aluminium, and then from 1942 to 1947 in zinc. The aluminium 2 øre is identical to the zinc variety, although the latter is a little heavier in weight.
