1 Krone Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel, overprint on 1905 1 krone note

Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel operated Greenland as a closed trading monopoly well into the twentieth century, and its scrip functioned as a de facto colonial currency — valid only within the territory and unredeemable outside it. The 1911 overprint on the existing 1905 plate was a practical measure, almost certainly driven by the need to extend the validity of notes already in circulation rather than commission an entirely new printing.

The overprint distinguishes P#6A from its parent issue. Watch for fading or ink strike inconsistencies in the overprint itself — a known weakness of this type — which can complicate authentication.
