Bank Notes from Denmark 1875 - 1910

The 1st of January 1875 Denmark changed the monetary system from Rigsbankdaler to the system used today. 1 Krone is equal to 100 Øre. At the same time Denmark changed the security for the paper money from silver to gold.

   

Even on the smaller values the signatures on the paper money were still written by hand. What a job to have!

On the reverse of the 10 Krone bank note is a picture of 10 pieces of 1 Krone silvercoins.
