P#43 ran for nearly two decades partly because Norges Bank was satisfied with the in-house printing operation it had established at Norges Banks Seddeltrykkeri — one of relatively few central banks in the world to print its own currency domestically throughout this period rather than contracting to specialist firms like De La Rue or Bradbury Wilkinson. That self-sufficiency gave the bank unusual control over security feature implementation as standards evolved across the series run.
Leif Anisdahl designed several notes in the Norwegian series of this era. Notes from the earliest years of this issue occasionally show ink consistency differences from those printed in the late 1980s — a minor but traceable artifact of incremental press changes at the Oslo facility.
