Issued on June 8, this is the tenth coin in the series featuring ships as its common theme, and is dedicated to the paddle steamer, Hjejlen.

Hjejlen is the world's oldest paddle steamer still operating. It was built in Copenhagen in 1861 and thus this year marks its 150 years anniversary. The original idea was that the paddle steamer would stimulate the tourism to Himmelbjerget.

The reverse depicts Hjejlen. The obverse design features a new portrait of the Queen by sculptor Lis Nogel.
