About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 1-krone banknote (Pick 15a) in 1940 to address a coin shortage during World War II. This shortage necessitated the production of small denomination notes, which remained in circulation until 1950.
The front of the note features the signature of G. Meldahl-Nielsen, who served as Chief Cashier from 1940 to 1945. The note measures 100 x 64 mm and was printed by Norges Bank's Printing Works.
