Norges Bank's 1000 Kroner was the highest denomination in Norwegian circulation during the entire Oscar II period, and at that face value it was never a note the average worker would handle. The krone itself had only been introduced in 1875 when Norway joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union, replacing the speciedaler — meaning this note was among the first high-denomination issues under the new currency framework.
Christian Christie's design was produced entirely in-house at Norges Banks Seddeltrykkeri, one of the few central bank printing operations in Europe that handled its own high-value notes at this scale during the period. The series ran over two decades with minimal modification.
