Bradbury Wilkinson held the Landsbanki contract through much of the mid-twentieth century, and this note — issued across a thirteen-year span that bracketed the British military occupation of Iceland — would have circulated through an economy dramatically distorted by wartime Allied spending. The British and later American military presence flooded the island with foreign currency and inflated local wages almost overnight, putting serious pressure on the króna.
Jón Þorleifsson's involvement on both faces is unusual for the period; Bradbury Wilkinson typically supplied their own design staff for export commissions.
