| Obverse description | Blue intaglio print on white paper, with the watermark window occupying the far left margin, above which the date year is printed and below which the serial number appears. A vignette at left carries a portrait of Fridtjof Nansen, rendered after a painting, with the crowned national coat of arms placed directly beneath it; the centre of the note bears the denomination in both numeral and word form, together with two facsimile signatures above their respective printed titles. Fine guilloche work frames the composition throughout. |

| Reverse description | Blue intaglio print on white paper, with the central vignette reproducing Axel Revold's painting of fishermen at work against a mountainous coastal backdrop evocative of the Lofoten archipelago, a fishing hut visible within the scene. The denomination is repeated in numeral form at multiple positions around the note, and the composition is enclosed by fine guilloche border work. |
