About this banknote
The 24 Skilling banknote was issued by Denmark in 1810 under the reign of King Frederick VI. This denomination, equivalent to one-quarter of a Rigsdaler, was introduced following the ordinance of December 21, 1810, to facilitate smaller transactions within the economy.
The obverse features black print on white paper, with the denomination "24 Skilling D. Cour." prominently displayed. Below, the text references the ordinance date and includes an anti-counterfeiting warning: "Hvo som eftergiør eller forfalsker denne Seddel, straffes på Ære, liv og Gods," which translates to "Whoever counterfeits or falsifies this note will be punished with honor, life, and property." An impressed coat of arms is also present. The reverse side is blank. This banknote was demonetized on May 3, 1820.
