It´s been such a long, long time since … the spring of 1814. Then, for some brief months, Christian Magnus Falsen (September 14th 1782 - January 13th 1830) earned his “eternal” reputation as the Father of the Norwegian Constitution. The constitution lays down the law; it creates and establishes Norwegian sovereignty. Much later, in 1920, the Svalbard Treaty awarded Norway full and absolute sovereignty over the Svalbard archipelago - wherein Mount Falsen lies covered in ice and snow.
Christian Magnus Falsen remains the only Norwegian citizen in the modern era that have been portrayed on official notes and coins issued by Noregs Bank - the central bank of Norway. Svalbard Money´s Falsen NFT is something else altogether. A movie, a map, a portrait - a coin in the form of an exclamation mark of sorts.
www.svalbard.money is a Norwegian NFT-project initiated by SpareBank 1; the second largest finance group in Norway. The fascinating monetary history in Svalbard constitutes the core of the project: In the 20th century, American, British, Norwegian, Russian/Soviet and Swedish coal companies issued local currencies in Svalbard; notes and (Soviet) coins; money based upon real mining and physical proof of work.
The digital Svalbard notes are unique reproductions of various Anglo-Russian, Norwegian and Soviet Svalbard notes. The decentralized production of such notes ceased on February 7th 2022 when the Ethereum blockchain reached block nr. 14159265.

The digital Svalbard coins pay homage to the Svalbard coins that were minted in Leningrad just after WW2. Read all about it in a richly illustrated “white paper light” here:
