Historical banknotes and milestones
The first Norwegian banknotes were issued in 1695 by a private entity, but official government issuance began in 1813. An important milestone was the creation of the Central Bank of Norway in 1816, which assumed responsibility for issuing banknotes. During World War II, Norway experienced a dual circulation of banknotes: those issued by the government in exile and those of the occupation regime. After the war, a currency reform was carried out in 1945, marking the beginning of a new era in Norwegian note circulation.
