I must say, I do find it a bit strange, peculiar even, that QM2 has given out commemorative medals regarding Prince Henrik's death/funeral. Furthermore, I can't think of any monarch or head of state that has issued medals regarding the demise of their spouse.
Deceased Kings of Denmark have traditionally been honoured with a memorial medal, but I think the first deceased consort to receive this honour was Queen Ingrid. Prince Henrik is thus the second consort who gets a memorial medal. I don't understand why you find it peculiar.
