| Comments |
Bradbury Wilkinson printed for dozens of central banks during this period, but their work for Iceland was unusually long-lived — P#44 ran from 1965 through 1980, a fifteen-year span that involved multiple date prefixes without redesign. The note predates the Seðlabanki's shift to domestic procurement and represents one of the last Icelandic series fully dependent on British security printers.
Notes from the early years of the run tend to show heavier circulation wear, reflecting Iceland's still cash-intensive retail economy of the 1960s.
