About this banknote

This issuance was part of Iceland's effort to establish a currency distinct from Danish influence during World War II. The transition to domestic currency printing was a significant move in asserting economic independence.
The banknote features elaborate ornamental designs with the denomination "1" prominently displayed in each corner. The front side bears the signature of Jakob Möller. The back shows Iceland's coat of arms, including symbols such as a crown and a cross. This note, with dimensions 110 x 63 mm, was printed by Gutenberg Trykkeri in Reykjavík and had a production total of 200,000 units.
