备注

Greenland's wartime isolation made these notes a practical necessity. When Germany occupied Denmark in April 1940, the island was cut off from its administrative center in Copenhagen, and the Grønlands Administration — operating under the wartime oversight of the Danish consul and later with American involvement following the 1941 defense agreement — had to manage its own monetary affairs. These small-denomination skilling notes were part of that improvised local currency system, circulating within a population of roughly 20,000 people scattered across remote settlements with no connection to continental banking infrastructure.

The embossed seal was the primary authentication measure — straightforward to apply locally without specialist printing equipment.
