| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed in blue-violet on plain paper, the design is framed by an elaborate guilloche border with the denomination numeral 1000 repeated in each corner within ornate cartouches. An oval portrait vignette at left bears the likeness of Stortingspresident W.F.K. Christie, while a corresponding oval vignette at right carries a portrait of Admiral Peder Wessel Tordenskiold, both rendered in fine line engraving. The central field contains the bank name and bearer clause in letterpress, with an underprint guilloche repeating the inscriptions ET TUSEN and NORGES BANK across the middle. |
