| Opmerkingen |
Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel — the Royal Greenland Trade Department — held a complete state monopoly over Greenland's economy, and these notes functioned as a closed scrip system: issued to colonists and Greenlandic workers at the trading posts, and redeemable only within that same network. They could not circulate freely or leave the system in any meaningful way. That captivity is precisely why surviving examples are so rare; notes that never left the trading posts were simply worn out or destroyed in place rather than saved.
The 1856 series was struck during Frederick VII's reign, a period when the KGH was tightening administrative control over the Greenlandic settlements.
