| Reverse description | The upper register carries an intaglio vignette of a rugged Arctic coastal landscape with ice-capped rock formations and a glacier face, rendered in fine monochrome line engraving over a warm salmon-tinted guilloche underprint with the word GREENLAND visible in large pale letters. Below, the fluked tail of a diving whale emerges from a pale blue field, while the lower left area incorporates subtle Inuit art motifs including a stylised face, and the right panel displays a grid of eight silhouetted Greenlandic wildlife vignettes alongside a facsimile Governor signature. The denomination 3 KRONER appears at the lower left in bold serif numerals, flanked on the left by a decorative geometric border strip in dark red. |

Greenland has no central bank of its own — the Danish National Bank retains monetary authority over the territory, meaning this note circulates under a constitutional arrangement that hasn't changed since the Home Rule Act of 1979. The Snowy Owl series, introduced in 2025, marks a significant redesign of Greenlandic banknotes, the first in many years, driven in part by the ongoing political conversation around greater autonomy from Copenhagen.
Paper composition is increasingly rare for new issues at this price point; most comparable denominations have moved to polymer.
