Norway's mid-1990s polymer trials were part of a quiet but serious internal debate at Norges Bank about whether to shift substrate entirely — a debate that ultimately concluded in favor of staying with cotton paper. This piece is one of the pattern notes produced during that evaluation, never intended for circulation. Flagstad refers to Kirsten Flagstad, the Norwegian soprano, whose image the production series used as its design anchor.
The note was printed in-house at Norges Banks Seddeltrykkeri in Oslo, one of the few European central bank printing works still producing its own currency at that time. That facility closed in 2007.
