The rigsdaler was the currency of the Danish West Indies (now the U.S. Virgin Islands) until 1849.
In 1766 and 1767, 6, 12 and 24 skilling coins were struck in silver for the Danish West Indies.
All the coins carried the wording "Dansk Amerik(ansk) M(ynt)" (Danish American Coinage) to distinguish them from regular Danish coins.
In 1784 and 1785, some Danish 5 rigsdaler courant notes were reissued for use in the West Indies with new denomination of 6+1⁄4 rigsdaler printed on the previously blank reverses.
