Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani was established in 1916 to work the coal seams around Longyearbyen, and almost immediately faced the logistical problem common to all remote industrial settlements: no practical way to pay wages in state currency when the nearest bank was hundreds of miles away across open Arctic water. The company's solution was to issue its own scrip, redeemable only within the company store and settlement — a closed monetary system that kept capital from leaking out of Svalbard entirely.
The SN20r designation indicates a remainder — unissued stock — which survives in proportionally higher numbers than genuinely circulated examples from this 1918–1919 window.
