Kongsberg was one of several Norwegian municipalities that issued emergency notes following the German invasion of April 1940, when the flight of the central government and disruption to banking channels created an immediate shortage of usable currency at the local level. These municipal notes had no formal legal tender status but circulated on trust — the town's name and the implicit backing of local commerce were the only guarantees on offer.
Kongsberg's industrial identity, built around the Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk arms works and the old royal silver mint, gave the municipality enough institutional weight that its scrip was accepted without significant resistance. The notes were printed locally, almost certainly under improvised conditions in the first chaotic weeks of occupation.
