Rigsbanken was established by royal decree in January 1813 as Denmark-Norway scrambled to manage a financial collapse triggered by the Napoleonic Wars and the British naval blockade. The Christiania branch served the Norwegian half of the union, issuing its own notes locally rather than relying on Copenhagen — a practical concession to the difficulty of moving currency across the Skagerrak under wartime conditions.
This note predates Norwegian independence by less than two years. The 1814 dissolution of the Denmark-Norway union rendered Rigsbanken's Norwegian operations immediately obsolete, and a significant portion of the Christiania branch's outstanding notes were left in circulation without a clear redemption authority — an unresolved problem that complicated the early finances of the new Norwegian state.
