Planned currency for Greenland which was abandoned in 2009
Greenland, 50 Øre (1874), first year of issue for the Greenlandic krone.[1] The uniface note (valued at half a krone) was issued in Denmark for use in Greenland. The note depicts the royal monogram of Christian IX of Denmark on the left and a small crowned polar bear on the right.
The Greenlandic krone (Greenlandic: koruuni, Danish: grønlandsk krone) was a planned currency for Greenland, plans of which were abandoned in 2009.[2] The same name is often used for currency issued during Greenland's time as a Danish colony. The name krone is derived from the Danish krone, introduced in an 1873 currency reform that replaced Danish mark and skilling.
Currently, the Danish krone circulates in Greenland. The Greenlandic krone was not intended to be an independent currency but a version of the Danish krone. Consequently, it was not intended to have its own ISO 4217 currency code, but to use the same ISO 4217 code as the Danish krone, which is DKK. Even if the currency had been adopted, the (regular) Danish krone would have continued to circulate separately.
