Greenland's wartime currency situation was genuinely unusual. When Germany occupied Denmark in April 1940, the island's Danish administration was effectively cut off from Copenhagen and fell under informal American protection. The 1941 skilling emergency notes were produced locally under those conditions — not by a metropolitan central bank or a European security printer, but by the Greenlandic administration itself working with whatever materials were available.
The impressed stamp authentication on Type I distinguishes it from later variants and reflects the ad hoc nature of the whole issue. Sieg SD#78 is among the more elusive pieces from this short-lived series.
