Opmerkingen

Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel held a state-granted monopoly over all commerce in Greenland, and its paper money functioned as a closed-currency system — notes were valid only within Greenland and could not be exchanged outside the colony. This was deliberate policy, designed to prevent capital from leaving the territory and to keep the indigenous population economically tied to company-run stores.

The perforated edge on Type I distinguishes it from later issues and was almost certainly a security measure against counterfeiting, unusual for a currency with such a geographically restricted circulation. Few notes from this series survive in any condition; the harsh Arctic environment and the eventual demonetization of the KGH currency system took a heavy toll on extant examples.
