| Comments |
Greenland's colonial scrip issues are among the most administratively peculiar paper money of the twentieth century's early decades. The Styrelsen af Kolonierne i Grønland operated a closed trading monopoly, and these low-denomination notes circulated exclusively within that controlled economy — not as sovereign currency but as company scrip with governmental backing, redeemable only through colonial trade posts.
Pick 11 is known with three distinct signature combinations, and the Daugaard Jensen & Munch pairing appears in two states distinguished solely by the hyphen above the "u" in Munch's name — straight versus ondulated — a detail that separates issued notes from remainders lacking serial numbers. The Barner Rasmussen variant represents a later signatory period.
