About this banknote
The Norges Bank issued the 200-krone banknote in 1994 as part of its Series VII banknotes. This series was developed to enhance security features and accommodate the increased use of ATMs and vending machines. The 200-krone denomination was introduced to fill the gap between the 100- and 500-krone notes.
The front of the note features a portrait of physicist Kristian Birkeland, known for his research on the aurora borealis. The background includes a stylized depiction of the northern lights and constellations such as Ursa Minor and the Big Dipper. The reverse side displays a map of the North Pole, North America, and Northern Europe. The watermark consists of a repeated vertical image of Birkeland.
