Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani operated a self-contained mining economy on Svalbard so remote from the Norwegian mainland that the company issued its own scrip rather than rely on regular currency supply. These 50 Kroner notes from the 1946–47 period came immediately after the German occupation of Longyearbyen, during which the entire civilian population had been evacuated and the settlement burned — the company was essentially rebuilding its community from scratch when this scrip was in use.
The "r" suffix in the SN48r reference denotes a remainder, and unissued examples survive in greater numbers than circulated ones, which show heavy handling consistent with a workforce using scrip exclusively for canteen and company store transactions.
