About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 1-krone banknote (Pick 15b) in 1946, with production continuing until 1950. This series was introduced to address a shortage of small denomination coins during and after World War II, a period when the demand for cash exceeded the minting capacity for coins.
The banknote measures 100 x 64 mm and features a brown design on a green underprint on the obverse, with the reverse predominantly green. It bears the signature of Erik Thorp, who served as the Governor of Norges Bank from 1946 to 1954. A total of 5,350,000 notes were produced by Norges Bank Seddeltrykkeri.
