The Royal Government Commission was a temporary administrative body established in 1807 after Britain's attack on Copenhagen and the seizure of the Danish fleet severed Norway from Denmark. Cut off from the Copenhagen-based financial apparatus, Norwegian authorities needed an independent note issue fast. These Rigsdaler Courant notes were the result — printed locally in Christiania under emergency conditions, not by a dedicated bank of issue, which Norway did not yet have.
The "AX" Pick prefix signals an unconfirmed or provisional cataloging — the series sits outside the main Norwegian sequence precisely because the issuing body was ad hoc and short-lived. Surviving examples are rare, and the paper quality of the local printing reflects the haste of the circumstances.
