The issuer data here is contradictory and should be treated with caution: Kurantbanken was the Danish state bank established in Copenhagen in 1736, making a 1713 date impossible for that institution, while Banco di Napoli is an entirely unrelated Italian institution with no connection to Rigsdaler-denominated notes. The Rigsdaler was a Danish-Norwegian monetary unit, and early Danish paper money from this period was issued under royal charter through predecessor institutions to Kurantbanken — likely the Københavns Assignation-, Vexel- og Laane-Banke, founded 1736, or an even earlier short-lived exchange bank.
Until the issuer conflict is resolved against primary source documentation, attribution should remain provisional.
