King Frederik X Revamps Denmark's Coat of Arms to Highlight Greenland and the Faroe Islands

The image displays two versions of Denmark's coat of arms side-by-side. The left version shows the traditional design with three crowns above the shield, representing the Kalmar Union. The right version shows the same coat of arms but with the three crowns removed, replaced by a single crown, and the shield's design altered to better represent Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The overlaid text explains this change was made by King Frederik X to better show Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and that the three crowns of the Kalmar Union are removed.
