| Anmerkungen |
Den Dansk-Vestindiske Nationalbank was a private commercial institution, not a central bank in the modern sense — it held the note-issuing concession for the Danish West Indies from 1904 and operated from St. Thomas. The islands were a marginal colonial possession by this point, and the bank's capitalization and note circulation were both modest. Bradbury Wilkinson, already well established as a security printer for colonial currencies across the British Empire, was the logical choice for a Danish colonial authority that lacked any domestic printing infrastructure suited to the work.
The United States purchased the Danish West Indies in 1917 for $25 million. Notes of this bank were redeemed and withdrawn; surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce.
