| Comments |
Norwegian municipal emergency notes are uncommon enough, but Sandnes produced one of the more obscure examples in the country's wartime issues. When the German occupation disrupted normal banking in April 1940, small municipalities were left scrambling for liquidity. The Formannskap — the elected municipal executive body — had no formal currency-issuing authority, which makes this note legally irregular by any peacetime standard.
Printed locally by Ingvald Dahle, a Sandnes commercial printer with no specialized banknote experience, the production values reflect the urgency. These were stopgap instruments, not intended to outlast the crisis by more than weeks.
