| Opmerkingen |
Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani issued scrip currency for use at Longyearbyen — a company town so remote that conventional Norwegian banking infrastructure was essentially absent. The notes circulated exclusively within the mining settlement, accepted at company stores and services but worthless the moment a worker left Svalbard. This was functional captive currency, not a public issue.
The SN29r reference indicates a remainder exists in the series — unissued stock that survived rather than entering circulation, which accounts for why cleaner examples appear more often than the wear patterns of actual mining-camp use would suggest.
