100 Kroner Great Norwegian Spitsbergen Coal Company

Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani — commonly known as SNSK — operated Longyearbyen under a system of near-total economic isolation. The Svalbard archipelago's peculiar legal status under the 1920 Spitsbergen Treaty meant Norway held sovereignty but couldn't impose full Norwegian monetary law without complications; SNSK effectively ran a company town, and these scrip notes were the practical result. Workers were paid in company currency redeemable only at the company store.

The 1976–1978 dating covers a transitional period when SNSK was shifting from fully private operation toward majority state ownership, which Norway completed in 1978. These notes were phased out as the company town model unwound and Norwegian kroner took over entirely.
