Greenland's isolation became acute in April 1940 when Germany occupied Denmark, severing the island from its administrative and financial metropole overnight. The Danish Governor Henrik Kauffmann — acting on his own authority and later formally backed by the Free Danish movement — negotiated directly with Washington, and Greenland spent the war years under a de facto American security umbrella. Local currency needs had to be improvised.
These 1941 Skilling notes were issued by Grønlands Administration as emergency scrip, their validity confirmed by an impressed (dry embossed) stamp rather than a printed one — a detail that distinguishes Type I from later variants and reflects the limited production resources available on the island at the time.
