| Opmerkingen |
The Danish West Indies operated a deeply unusual monetary system throughout the nineteenth century, with the Vestindisk Daler tied to local sugar trade values rather than to the Danish rigsdaler on any straightforward parity. The Colonialbestyrelsen issued its own paper currency largely because metropolitan Danish coin circulated poorly in the islands and Spanish silver dominated everyday transactions. A 100 Daler note was an extremely high denomination for a colonial population measured in the tens of thousands.
Pick 6 is genuinely rare. The 1850 series saw limited issue and most examples were redeemed or destroyed following the gradual currency reforms that preceded Danish cession negotiations with the United States, which began as early as the 1860s.
