| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic full-figure representation of Norwegian resistance hero Gunnar Sønsteby in period attire, striding purposefully in front of a stylised rendering of the Norges Bank building, above which a Nazi flag is shown flying. Radiating lines emanate from behind the central scene, conveying drama and urgency evocative of the wartime sabotage operation known as the Great Robbery of 1944. The legend NO 24 GUNNAR SØNSTEBY arcs across the upper field, referencing Sønsteby's wartime codename, while THE GREAT ROBBERY is inscribed along the lower border. The composition is executed in proof finish with frosted relief against a mirror field. |
