Bjørnøen A/S was a Norwegian mining company that held a concession on Bear Island — the remote Norwegian archipelago territory in the Barents Sea — and issued its own scrip for use by workers on the island who had no access to conventional banking or retail. These emergency labor camp tokens in paper form were a practical necessity, not a monetary experiment; the island had no postal savings, no bank branch, and supply ships arrived infrequently.
The 1920–1921 dating places this issue in the period immediately following the post-WWI sovereignty disputes over Svalbard, before the 1920 Spitsbergen Treaty formally assigned the archipelago to Norway. Bear Island was included under that treaty.
