Aage Reddersen was a Danish merchant who issued small-denomination necessity notes during the German occupation, when wartime hoarding drained low-value coinage from everyday circulation. These private emergency issues — produced by shopkeepers and local businesses across occupied Denmark — filled a genuine transactional gap, though they carried no official authorization from the National Bank.
At under 30mm across, this is among the smallest pieces of Danish notgeld on record. The 1944 date places it in the occupation's final year.
