| Beschrijving voorzijde | Small-format cardboard scrip note with perforated edges on all sides, issued as a utilitarian trade token for use within the Greenlandic trading system. The face carries only the denomination '10 Øre' in plain letterpress typography, with no vignette, guilloche, or decorative underprint of any kind. The austere, unembellished design is characteristic of emergency and colonial trade scrip of this period. |

| Opmerkingen |
Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel operated Greenland as a strict trading monopoly, and these small cardboard tokens functioned as internal scrip — usable only within the company's own stores. They were never legal tender in any conventional sense and had no validity outside the colony's supply system. The monopoly itself wasn't dissolved until 1950, so notes from this series circulated for decades longer than their printed date range suggests.
Cardboard wore badly in Arctic conditions. Surviving examples in clean state are genuinely uncommon.
