| Comments |
Den Danske Brigade was the Danish military force assembled in Sweden during the German occupation, trained in anticipation of liberation. After 1945 it was retained as a standing garrison unit, and this fractional note — the "Brigs" series — served as internal payment scrip within that specific military organization, not as general-issue military currency. The series ran well into the 1950s, long after any liberation-era urgency had passed, reflecting a deliberate decision to maintain a self-contained payment system for the brigade's personnel.
Printed by the Nationalbank's own works in Copenhagen, which handled both civilian and state security printing throughout this period.
