NORWAY. Regjerings Commission. 100 Rigsdaler, 1.10.1807. P-A10. PMG Choice Fine 15.
Christiana issue. Norway had been in a real union with Denmark for centuries, but various wars, including the Gunboat War, would lead to its breakup in the early 19th century. On August 24, 1807 it was announced that a temporary government commission would be established in Christiana (today known as Oslo) as communications between Norway and Denmark had been negatively impacted as a result of the war. A few months later this commission issued its own banknotes, of which this represents the highest denomination. Scarce in any grade and seldom offered for sale, this is a wholesome example of this rare issue, which had some restoration that enhanced its appearance, but which are fairly minimal and not distracting. An important opportunity for the Scandinavian specialist. Just one example presently grades finer in the PMG population report. PMG Comments "Restoration."

Estimate: $2000.00 - $3000.00
