| Obverse description | Plain unadorned note of typeset letterpress construction on cream paper. A serial number appears at the top centre, followed by the issuing bank name in bold display type, the payment obligation legend, a handwritten denomination entry in the value field, and the guarantor firm name in bold capitals at the foot. No vignette, guilloche, or ornamental border is present, consistent with the utilitarian character of wartime emergency scrip. |

A/S Østfold Privatbank was one of several Norwegian regional banks that issued emergency notes during the German occupation following the April 1940 invasion. The curious suppression of the "Askim, den" dateline text — normally present on companion pieces from the same series — points to a mid-run printing revision, likely reflecting administrative changes in how the occupation authorities required notes to be formatted or authorized at the local level.
The A/S Askim Gummivarefabrik connection is the genuinely odd detail here: a rubber goods factory serving as either the issuing agent or the guarantor behind a kroner note is the kind of wartime improvisation that routine catalog data tends to obscure.
