Sitting and about to add some Rigsbankdaler notes to the Greenland catalog, but can see we miss the currency. 

Even as a Dane, I'm in doubt which currency to put..? I just know it should be the predecimal system of 96 skilling to a rigsdaler.

 

The first note were from 1803, but is it the rigsdaler rigsmønt (1853-1873), which these early notes should belong to?

 

Hope some one can clarify and we can get the right currency added. Thanks! :D

Probably some North German Thaler equivalent for the around 1800 ones, which one I don't know.

Yes yes,  a rigsdaler system. But we used multiple systems at the time, so I'm unsure of which one :)

I have figured out it should be both: 

 

Rigsdaler Courant (1803-1873)

and

Rigsbankdaler (1819-1854)

 

The year of start of the currency I base on the first note issued from the currency. There are known notes from both of these.

 

What does people think? :)
