About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 2 kroner banknote series between 1940 and 1950 to address a shortage of small change during and after World War II. These "coin notes" were introduced to replace coins that were being hoarded or were in short supply.
The 1949 2 kroner note measures 100 x 64 mm and features a color scheme of blue, green, and orange. The obverse displays the signature of Chief Cashier Erik Thorp, who served from 1946 to 1950, with serial number prefixes ranging from E to G. The reverse prominently shows the denomination "2 KRONER" in the center. This note was demonetized on July 13, 1999.
