BACKGROUNDER

We gratefully acknowledge numismatist Walt Jellum who provided the above image and the following background information about these previously unknown issues:

Laane-og-Indretning (Loan & Discount Bank) issues were authorized by the King on 28.9.1816 and 800,000 Speciedaler were planned to be issued. These notes proved to be unpopular and were cancelled 3.7.1817 with no further issues of this type occurring after this date.

After reaching a discount level of  70%, a new law in 1818 made these semi-official notes illegal with a final redemption date set as 11.9.1919. Reports indicate that, in spite of this redemption order, there were still notes circulating in 1822. 

All of the above issues are extremely rare and are not listed in most catalogs. The 80 Sp and  200 Sp denominations have been reported but it is not clear whether any are in museums or private hands.

An uncut sheet of three has been reported. The above 20 Sp note may have seen some circulation and is considered extremely rare, perhaps unique.
