| Opmerkingen |
Handelsstederne i Grønland operated as a Danish state trading monopoly, and these fractional notes were issued specifically for use within the Greenlandic settlements — they had no validity anywhere else. The 25 Øre denomination addressed a genuine practical problem: coinage was heavy, expensive to ship, and prone to loss at sea on the supply runs from Copenhagen. Paper substitutes made sense in an isolated, company-controlled economy where redemption could be managed locally.
Christian IX's reign saw several of these Greenlandic issues, and because the notes circulated in small, remote communities rather than through any formal banking system, attrition was high. Survivors are genuinely uncommon.
