This item is the Royal Copenhagen year plate "Roskilde Cathedral" sold in 1996 (Heisei 9 in Japan). The history of the city of Roskilde is ancient, dating back to the time when the Vikings were active, and it was once the political center of Denmark in the Middle Ages. Roskilde Cathedral, the symbol of the city, was founded around 1179 and is the mausoleum of the Danish royal family, registered as a World Heritage Site. The 1997 edition year plate, which marked its 90th anniversary, depicts a heartwarming scene of choosing a tree in front of the cathedral. On the official website, it is sold as a back number for 15,400 yen, a very high price, and it is a valuable item that is out of stock even on the official website.
