| Comments |
A/S Bondens Selvstyre — "The Farmer's Self-Governance" — was a Danish agrarian cooperative that briefly issued its own scrip in Haderslev during the late 1920s. The dual denomination, kroner and dollars expressed as a fraction, reflects the community's practical need to transact with both Danish currency and American remittances from emigrant relatives, a common financial reality in Sønderjylland at the time.
Haderslev had only been returned to Denmark from Germany in 1920 following the post-WWI plebiscite, and monetary arrangements in the region remained unsettled for years afterward. Private scrip of this kind was legally precarious under Danish banking law and this issuer's notes are rarely encountered.
