Norway's government-in-exile operated from London after the German occupation in April 1940, and Norges Bank continued issuing currency from there throughout the war. This 1942 10 Kroner belongs to that London exile series — physically identical in intent to pre-war domestic issues but produced entirely outside occupied Norwegian territory, under British wartime printing conditions.
The notes were stockpiled for reintroduction into Norway following liberation, not circulated in Britain. After 1945, redemption was carefully managed to prevent the Nasjonal Samling-era Reichskommissariat issues from being laundered through the returning exile currency.
