| Opmerkingen |
Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani was a private coal mining company operating in Longyearbyen under a Norwegian state concession, and its scrip notes functioned as the de facto currency of an Arctic settlement with no bank, no postal money order service, and no practical means of spending Norwegian krone. Workers were paid partly in this company currency, redeemable only at the company store — a closed economic loop that was entirely deliberate.
Emil Moestue in Oslo printed the series, which remained in use through the German occupation of Svalbard. The Kriegsmarine evacuated Longyearbyen in 1941, effectively ending circulation.
