500 Krónur Danmarks Nationalbank, second issue

Ingálvur av Reyni was a Faroese painter of considerable reputation, and his involvement in designing Danish banknotes during this period gave the series an artistic character that set it apart from the more orthodox engraving-house aesthetics common elsewhere in Scandinavia. The second issue ran for sixteen years, an unusually long production span that required multiple print runs with minor variations — collectors distinguish between signature combinations corresponding to successive Nationalbank governors and chief cashiers, and these pairings affect scarcity more than most catalog entries acknowledge.
