About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 2-kroner banknote in 1941 to address a shortage of coins during World War II. This shortage necessitated the production of small denomination notes, which remained in circulation until 1950.
The 2-kroner note measures 100 x 64 mm and features a red and black color scheme. The obverse displays the denomination "2 KRONER" with ornamental guilloche patterns, while the reverse presents a similar design with the numerical denomination. The note bears the signature of G. Meldahl Nielsen, who served as the bank's director from 1940 to 1942.
