A central vignette presents the numeral value flanked on either side by the crowned coat of arms of Greenland, both polar bears facing left, set within the promissory legend. Beneath the central value, two dolphins flank a trident as a decorative tailpiece. |

Kongelige Grønlandske Handel was not a bank — it was a Danish state trading monopoly that controlled virtually all commerce in Greenland from the eighteenth century onward. These notes functioned as a scrip currency within that closed system, redeemable only through KGH trading posts, and had no legal standing outside Greenland. The stamped serial number distinguishes this Type II from the handwritten serials of the earlier issue, a modest administrative upgrade that signals growing transaction volumes at the settlements.
Surviving examples are rare. The isolation of the issuing posts, the harsh climate, and the limited number of hands these notes ever passed through all work against survival.
