At lower centre-right, a scenic vignette shows a figure standing on the shoreline before the distinctive flat-topped Thule Rock rising from the sea, with small boats visible in the water. The serial number appears in red at lower left and in black at upper right, with two manuscript signatures and the issuing authority inscription centred below the main title.

Anmerkungen

Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel was not a bank — it was a state trading monopoly that controlled virtually all commerce in Greenland under Danish colonial administration. These notes circulated only within Greenland, were not legal tender in Denmark proper, and formed part of a parallel monetary system designed to keep Greenlandic economic activity administratively isolated from the metropolitan economy.

Gunnar Aagaard Andersen was a significant figure in Danish modernist art, which makes his involvement here unusual — not many currency series of this period were handed to an artist of his standing rather than a professional banknote engraving house. The series ran across the full transition period leading up to Greenland's integration into the Danish constitutional framework as a county in 1953, the same year this note first appeared.
