Dansk Røde Kors issued this note for use aboard the hospital ship MS Jutlandia during her deployments to Korea between 1951 and 1953, functioning as an internal scrip currency for crew and staff rather than a negotiable instrument in any national monetary system. The Jutlandia was the only Scandinavian vessel to serve in the Korean War theater under Red Cross auspices, and the closed economic environment of a hospital ship made a dedicated scrip both practical and necessary.
Printed in Denmark, the series is small and the notes saw genuinely limited circulation — confined to a single vessel, thousands of miles from home.
