About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 1 krone banknote series from 1940 to 1950 to address a shortage of small change during and after World War II. These "coin notes" were introduced to supplement the circulation of coins, which were in short supply during this period.
The 1949 1 krone note measures 100 x 64 mm and features a brown design on a green underprint. The obverse displays the denomination and the text "NORGES BANK EN KRONE," while the reverse shows the value "1 KRONE" in the center. This note bears the signature of E. Thorp, who served as Chief Cashier from 1946 to 1950.
