The "Kaffeposer" nickname — meaning coffee bags — was handed to this series by the Danish public, who thought the small emergency notes resembled the paper packets used to sell ground coffee at the time. The name stuck across all denominations and has been standard collector terminology ever since. These were genuine stopgap instruments: Denmark needed fractional paper currency fast when silver coinage disappeared from circulation at the outbreak of war in 1914, as hoarding emptied the tills almost overnight.
Gerhard Heilmann was better known as an ornithologist than a banknote designer — his 1926 book on the origin of birds remained a scientific reference for decades. The sitting falcon motif reflects that dual life.
