5 Kroner

Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel — the Royal Greenlandic Trade company — operated as a Crown monopoly controlling virtually all commerce in Greenland from 1776 until well into the twentieth century. Its banknotes were trade tokens in the purest sense: usable only within the Greenlandic settlements it administered, with no value beyond those shores. The 1911 series, of which Pick 10 is part, was printed in Copenhagen and shipped north, functioning less like a national currency and more like company scrip backed by a colonial trading authority.

These notes rarely left Greenland through normal channels, which makes survivors uncommon outside Scandinavian collections.
