| Comments |
Nationalbanken i Kjøbenhavn issued this series during a transitional moment in Danish monetary history — the Scandinavian Monetary Union was being negotiated and would come into force in 1873, replacing the rigsdaler system with the krone at a fixed rate of 2 kroner per rigsdaler. Notes of this type were therefore printed and issued knowing their denomination would become obsolete almost immediately.
The absence of impressed stamps and the stamped rather than engraved serial number mark this as the B variant within the A63 series — a distinction that matters for attribution. Hetsch, better known as an architect and professor at the Copenhagen Academy of Fine Arts, contributed designs to several Nationalbanken issues of the period.
