Rigsbanken was established by royal decree in January 1813 as Denmark-Norway scrambled to stabilize a currency in freefall — the result of wartime financing, British naval blockade, and the near-total collapse of the predecessor Kurantbank. This Christiania-issued branch note is a product of that emergency, printed locally in what was then Norway's administrative capital rather than in Copenhagen, reflecting the logistical separation imposed by war and geography.
Denmark-Norway's cession of Norway to Sweden under the Treaty of Kiel in January 1814 rendered the Christiania branch effectively obsolete within months of these notes entering circulation. Survivors are uncommon precisely because the political rupture disrupted normal redemption cycles.
