| Opmerkingen |
Holstein occupied an awkward constitutional position throughout the 1850s — legally part of the German Confederation yet ruled by the Danish crown, which made the currency question genuinely contested. The First Schleswig-Holstein War (1848–51) had only sharpened that tension. Notes issued under joint Herzogtum/Danish Royal Finance Ministry authority were a deliberate administrative statement about where fiscal control resided.
The 1854 date places this note in the brief window of relative calm between the two Schleswig-Holstein wars, before the crisis of 1863–64 that would ultimately strip Denmark of both duchies entirely.
