| Anmerkungen |
The Kongelige Grønlandske Handel operated as a Danish crown monopoly over all trade in Greenland, and the colony notes it issued were not currency in any conventional sense — they were scrip, redeemable only within the colony and worthless outside it. Julianehaab, on the southwest coast, was one of the main settlement clusters, and notes were denominated locally to manage the company store economy rather than connect to any broader monetary system.
The dual denomination — 1 Rigsdaler and 96 Skilling simultaneously — reflects the Danish monetary relationship of the period, with 96 Skilling equaling 1 Rigsdaler Courant. Survival is exceptionally rare; Greenlandic colonial scrip had no reason to leave the colony and every reason to be destroyed or lost.
