| Comments |
These small-denomination change notes — "skillemyntsedler" — were introduced partly because metal coinage had become scarce under German occupation, with Norway's coin stocks disrupted or diverted after the April 1940 invasion. Norges Bank continued operating through the occupation under considerable duress, and the overlapping prefix and signature combinations across this series reflect the administrative turbulence of those years, including catalog gaps where certain date-prefix pairings were issued but not formally documented at the time.
The Thorp signature dates mark the post-liberation period, with the series running on into 1950 before small-denomination paper was phased out as coin production normalized.
