About this banknote
The Danmarks Nationalbank issued the 10 kroner banknote in 1945 as part of the 1944 series, commonly referred to as the "substitution series." This series was secretly developed during 1943–1944 to facilitate a currency exchange immediately after World War II, aiming to replace existing banknotes and address economic concerns following the German occupation.
The front of the banknote features the denomination "10 TI KRONER 10" prominently displayed. The reverse side showcases the Danish coat of arms. Measuring 131 x 80 mm, the note is printed in brown and cream colors. It was signed by Knud Svendsen and Friis, with printing executed by Egmont printing. The banknote was introduced into circulation on July 23, 1945, and was demonetized on June 30, 1954.
