1.000 Kroner NOR Banknote (Early Krone System (Pre-WWII)) 1989

1.000 Kroner Banknote (Issued 1989)

The Norwegian 1.000 Kroner note issued in 1989 reflects a period of modern monetary design by Norges Bank, Norway’s central banking institution. This denomination served as a significant high-value banknote within the Norwegian currency system during its circulation period. The note represents the visual and security standards established by Norges Bank in the late twentieth century. Collectors and those seeking to exchange withdrawn Norwegian currency will find this note a substantial piece of Nordic monetary heritage.

On the front, a dignified portrait dominates the left side of the banknote, depicting C M Falsen in three-quarter profile view rendered in deep purple and mauve tones. The portrait exhibits fine engraving work characteristic of professional currency production, with careful attention to facial features and the subject’s formal attire including a high collar and jacket. The denomination “1000” appears in the upper left corner in matching purple tones, whilst the centre of the note features the large embossed numeral “1000” surrounded by an ornate circular rosette pattern in darker blue and purple. The text “TUSEN KRONER” (meaning “One Thousand Kroner”) is prominently displayed across the upper centre in bold letters, with “NORGES BANK” positioned below the central numeral. Signatures of bank officials appear in cursive script beneath the rosette design. A serial number “3101590129” is visible in the upper right portion, with additional security numerals “1989-VI” printed on the right side, indicating the issue year and series designation. The right margin displays a vertical decorative security strip featuring geometric patterns in pink and purple.

The reverse features an elaborate heraldic composition within a rectangular ornamental border, showcasing the Norwegian coat of arms rendered in deep purple engraving. The lion rampant (standing on hind legs) within the shield displays intricate detail and baroque-style ornamentation surrounding the central heraldic device. The denomination “TUSEN KRONER” appears in the upper right within a complex multicoloured rosette pattern, with “1000” displayed prominently at the centre and “NORGES BANK” positioned beneath. The numeral “1000” appears in the lower left corner in matching purple tones, and a decorative vertical security element with geometric pink and purple patterning runs along the left margin, mirroring the front design. The entire reverse composition maintains the sophisticated colour palette of deep purples and mauve throughout, with the heraldic imagery serving as the principal design feature.
