Bradbury Wilkinson printed this high-denomination note during a period when Iceland's economy was under serious strain — the late 1950s and early 1960s brought chronic inflation and repeated króna devaluations, which partly explains why a 1000 Krónur note was necessary for ordinary transactions at all. The denomination's purchasing power had eroded considerably by the time these reached circulation.
Halldór Pétursson's design work for Icelandic banknotes during this period represents a coherent national aesthetic effort, though Bradbury Wilkinson's engraving house ultimately determined much of the final character of the printed surface.
