1 Rigsdaler Courant Blue paper; with anti-counterfeit text

Kurantbanken operated under several successive names during this period, reflecting the political turbulence surrounding Danish monetary policy and the eventual dissolution of the institution in 1813 amid the Napoleonic Wars' devastation of Danish state finances. The blue paper stock itself was a deliberate anti-counterfeiting measure — tinted paper was harder to replicate than plain white, and the printed anti-counterfeit text made the issuer's anxiety about forgery explicit in a way few contemporary notes did.

The impressed dry stamp, applied without ink, required physical dies and significant pressure, leaving an embossed authentication mark that forgers of the period could not easily reproduce. Notes from the later end of this issue date are considerably scarcer, as wartime conditions disrupted both production and orderly retirement of circulating paper.
