| Opschrift voorzijde | 6 Skl.Rm. Denne Anviisning gjelder for Sex Skilling Rigsmönt ved Handelsstederne i Grönland. Kjöbenhavn, 1856 (Translation: 6 Skilling Rigsmønt This note is valid for six Skilling Rigsmønt at the Trading Posts in Greenland. Copenhagen, 1856) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is essentially plain, with a red-printed rectangular border frame enclosing the otherwise blank paper surface. Faint red ornamental vignettes occupy the lateral margins — the royal cypher at left and a crowned device at right — leaving the central field entirely unprinted, consistent with the minimal reverse treatment typical of mid-nineteenth-century Greenlandic trade notes. |

The Danish Royal Greenland Trade Department operated as a state monopoly controlling all commerce in Greenland, and these notes functioned as a closed-currency system — they could not be redeemed outside the colony. Workers and hunters who received them had no choice but to spend within the company's own stores. Six skilling was a trivial denomination, intended for small transactions in a barter-adjacent economy where actual coin rarely circulated at all.
Frederick VII's reign coincided with the last period before Greenland's monetary system was overhauled in the 1870s. This issue predates the switch to the krone system by nearly two decades.
