Greenland Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Greenland is a fascinating journey through the monetary evolution of this autonomous region of Denmark. From its earliest banknotes to the present day, Greenlandic banknotes reflect the rich culture and history of the island.
Current banknotes in circulation
Greenland currently uses the Danish krone as its official currency. However, the country issues its own banknotes, known as Greenlandic kroner, which circulate alongside Danish banknotes. The current series, introduced in 2011, features designs that reflect the island' s arctic wildlife and landscape. These banknotes are available in denominations of 50, 100 and 200 kronor, each with a distinctive size and color.
Historical banknotes and milestones
The first Greenlandic banknotes were issued in 1803 by the Royal Greenland Trading Company. An important milestone was the introduction of Greenlandic krone banknotes in 1926, when the National Bank of Greenland was established. During World War II, Greenland issued emergency banknotes due to its isolation from Denmark. In 1986, a new series of banknotes with Inuit cultural motifs was launched, marking an important recognition of Greenlandic identity in its paper currency.
