10 Kroner NOR Banknote (Early Krone System (Pre-WWII)) 1972-1984

10 Kroner Banknote / Treasury / Military (Issued 1972-1984)

Norwegian currency collectors recognise the 10 Kroner note issued between 1972 and 1984 as a distinctly transitional design, marking the consolidation of Norges Bank’s visual identity during a pivotal decade in Scandinavian monetary history. The note’s engraving demonstrates the refined security standards applied by the Norwegian central bank during this period, with particular attention paid to portraiture and heraldic symbolism. The colour palette of soft blue and cream tones reflects the aesthetic preferences of 1970s Nordic currency design, while the precise guilloché patterning indicates the sophisticated printing techniques employed at the time.

On the front, a detailed three-quarter portrait of a bearded gentleman occupies the left-centre portion, rendered in careful engraving with fine line work creating subtle facial modelling. The date 1974 appears above the portrait in clear numerals. To the right stands the heraldic coat of arms of Norway, featuring a crowned lion rampant holding an axe, rendered in a darker blue tone with ornate baroque detailing around the shield. The denomination “10” appears twice, once in the upper left corner and again as a decorative rounded numeral in the lower right. The text “TI KRONER” (ten kroner in Norwegian) is prominently displayed across the centre-right area. At the base, “NORGES BANK” identifies the issuing institution. The reverse side of the note displays the denomination prominently as “10” within a rounded rectangular frame, accompanied by “TI KRONER” text. A standing female figure in classical dress appears on the right side of the design, depicted in fine engraving with detailed drapery work. The background incorporates geometric patterns and a subtle guilloché design, whilst “NORGES BANK” is repeated across the upper portion. Fine decorative line work frames various elements, creating depth and preventing counterfeiting. The overall composition demonstrates the technical mastery of banknote engraving characteristic of Norges Bank’s production standards during this era.
