About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 100-krone banknote (Pick 33) in 1970 as part of Series IV, which was introduced between 1948 and 1976. This series was developed before World War II, with initial designs selected through a 1930 competition. However, the war delayed its realization, leading to the engagement of architect Arnstein Arneberg to finalize the designs.
The obverse of the 1970 100-krone note features a portrait of Henrik Wergeland, a prominent Norwegian poet, positioned at the top left. The center displays the coat of arms of Norway, adorned with the royal crown. The reverse side showcases a reproduction of Erik Werenskiold's painting "Men Working on a Timber Boom," illustrating a logging scene. This banknote measures 144 x 127 mm and was printed by Norges Bank's Printing Works.
