Haderslev
is a town in Denmark located near Germany. Unhappy with the traditional
political parties and reinforced by an agricultural crises in 1926. Haderslev
declared itself an independent "Self Government of the Farm". The
purpose was to establish a "new state modeled after ancient Frisian
traditions". In order to help finance the new government, Haderslav
issued banknotes dated June 1, 1927. They were denominated in Kroner but tied
to the U.S. dollar. The inscriptions on the notes indicate "1 Kr. = 26/100
Dollar". The notes bear the facsimile signatures of the founders of
the movement. The movement fell apart about a year later. This
brown 2 Kroner note of Haderslev has inscriptions on the front. The back
depicts archers shooting at a fleeing horseman, a design that was used on a
1920 Haderslev notgeld note. It is approximately 110x73mm. It is a
scarce and historic banknote from a failed "new model state".
