| Reverse description | Printed in teal-green, the central vignette presents a pastoral sheep drive across a lava plain, with several riders on horseback herding a large flock toward the viewer. The iconic silhouette of the volcano Mount Hekla rises majestically in the background against a clouded sky. The Seðlabanki Íslands circular seal with the Icelandic coat of arms appears at lower left, and the denomination numeral 100 is repeated in all four corners. |

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.
