| Opmerkingen |
Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani issued its own scrip currency for use at Longyearbyen, the company town on Svalbard where Norwegian sovereignty — though established by the 1920 Spitsbergen Treaty — coexisted with a Soviet mining presence just a few kilometers away. Norwegian kroner were not practical tender in an Arctic settlement where the company controlled housing, food, and all retail; scrip kept wages circulating within the company's own stores rather than leaking into an economy that barely existed.
The SN63r suffix denotes a remainder — unissued stock that survived without cancellation, which is how most high-denomination examples have reached the collector market. Genuinely circulated 1000 Kroner pieces from this series are rare; the face value was steep even by mainland standards.
