10 Vestindiske Dalere St. Croix

The Dansk Vestindisk Nationalbank was established specifically to serve the Danish West Indies — St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. Jan — and operated under close supervision from Copenhagen. This 10 Vestindiske Dalere note, payable at St. Croix, belongs to a series that circulated across a colonial economy built almost entirely on sugar plantation revenues by that point well past their peak. The Vestindisk Daler was pegged at 5 to the Danish Krone under the 1904 monetary reform, which effectively made the entire series obsolete within a few years of this note's issue.

The Pick 4 series is genuinely scarce. Denmark sold the islands to the United States in 1917, and surviving Danish colonial currency from this bank was not widely saved by the local population.
