Comments

History of the note:

Because of silver shortage at the out-break of WWI, ”Nationalbanken i Kjøbenhavn” was allowed to print 1 og 2 Krone notes, the 2 Kroner note was never released for circulation.
These notes were made in a hurry, thus the reverse was taken from an old Rigsbankdaler Note P#A63, SD#78. Forgetting that the Symbol for Iceland previously a Crowned Stockfish in 1903 was altered to a sitting falcon, thus the lower-left section of the Royal Coat of Arms on the reverse has two varieties.
For this Note P#10/SD#115 it is a crowned stockfish, which the news papers at the times debated was more rare than the later note with the Icelandic falcon.

 

Nickname:
Because of their colour/look these notes were nicknamed "Kaffeposer", meaning filter bags.
 

Variations:
Dansk Numimatisk Forening further distinguis between the tip of the one. There is a slight difference in the top part of the value. A curved one and a crooked one

About the first notes:
Fun little fact about these note is the 000001 was handed to King Christian X and 000002 was handed to the then National Bank Director, Marcus Rubin
