| Opmerkingen |
The Royal Government Commission in Christiania was established specifically to issue emergency paper money after the British bombardment of Copenhagen in September 1807 and the subsequent seizure of the Danish fleet. Denmark-Norway's financial apparatus was effectively severed from Copenhagen overnight, and these notes were the improvised response — a local authority printing currency because the normal channels of supply from the capital had collapsed.
The impressed dry stamp was the sole security measure, which tells you something about how quickly this series had to be put together. Forgery risk was considered secondary to the immediate need for a functioning circulating medium in Norwegian territory.
