Descrizione del dritto	Central vignette of an Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus groenlandicus) set against a background rendering of the Arboretum Groenlandicum tree collection at Narsarsuaq, with a map of Greenland and the Greenlandic coat of arms integrated into the design field. A guilloche underprint with decorative geometric patterning extends across the note, with the denomination numeral and species binomial inscription appearing alongside the country name in structured letterpress. The overall composition employs a colour palette consistent with the polar and subarctic subject matter.

Descrizione del rovescio	Central vignette of a humpback whale tail fluke rising above the waterline, set before a panoramic rendering of a coastal glacier and rocky outcroppings in an intaglio-inspired style. A decorative guilloche panel with geometric latticework runs along the left margin, accompanied by an Inuit art motif in underprint to the right, while the lower right quadrant carries a grid of eight silhouetted Greenlandic wildlife vignettes alongside a facsimile signature. Disclaimer text in letterpress appears in the upper right portion of the note.

Commenti	Greenland's banknote series has been effectively dormant since the Danish krone became the circulating currency — physical Greenlandic notes have not been issued for general circulation in decades. This 2025 piece sits in the collector/commemorative space, part of a renewed series championed by the Greenlandic government as a cultural assertion rather than a monetary one. Whether it constitutes a legal tender instrument in any functional sense remains deliberately ambiguous in the issuing documentation. The Arctic fox denomination is telling: the animal was historically central to the Greenlandic fur trade economy that the Danish colonial administration controlled well into the twentieth century.
