| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Black letterpress text on lightly tinted paper with red decorative elements. The denomination is set within a rectangular panel at the top, flanked in the upper-left by the royal cypher of Frederick VII and in the lower-right by a crowned polar bear, the heraldic symbol of Greenland. The central field carries the promissory text, the whole enclosed within a decorative border; a pair of dolphins appears beneath the royal cypher alongside the denomination written out in full, with the serial number placed in the upper-right corner and the numeral value repeated in the lower-left. |

Handelsstederne i Grønland — the royal Danish trading monopoly operating Greenland's coastal stations — issued this note as a proprietary scrip currency, valid only within the company's own network of trading posts. It had no legal tender status in Denmark proper. The isolation of Greenlandic settlements made counterfeit risk negligible, which partly explains the relatively modest security features for the period.
Frederick VII reigned from 1848 until his death in 1863, and the 1856 dating places this note squarely within the monopoly's mid-century operations, well before the administrative reorganization that followed Denmark's 1864 territorial losses and shifted colonial priorities northward.
