| Beschrijving voorzijde | Light green letterpress print within a rectangular frame bearing the denomination in each corner and the value written out along three sides, with the handwritten serial number along the bottom border. The central field carries the numerical value flanked on either side by the crowned coat of arms of Greenland with polar bears facing left, surrounded by the full promissory text. Below the central value a vignette of two dolphins arranged symmetrically around a trident appears as a decorative tailpiece. |

| Opmerkingen |
Handelsstederne i Grønland was the Danish colonial trading monopoly that effectively controlled all commerce on the island — these notes functioned as a closed-currency scrip, valid only within the trading post network and worthless anywhere else. The 1887 series predates the formal restructuring of the Greenland administration, and the handwritten serial numbers indicate a very low-volume production run, most likely applied locally rather than at the printer.
Survival rate is poor. Notes from this series were redeemed and routinely destroyed, and the remote, damp conditions of Greenlandic trading posts were hard on paper.
