Historical context
This serie of banknote was the first ordinary serie with all the notes featuring Nynorsk (new Norwegian, which is based on conservative dialects. In contrast to Bokmål (book language) which is based on Danish). The contrast is in Bokmål the word Norway's is “Norges” and in Nynorsk it is “Noregs”. This serie still feature Bokmål. The Bokmål is on the obverse and the Nynorsk is on the reverse. There have been banknotes before with Nynorsk, but that were emergency banknotes from under the Second World War. This serie of banknotes was very much driven by a need for additional security, but also by the increased use of ATMs and vending machines. The new needs for security set limits for the artists. In this serie the 200 Kroner note was introduced for the first time as well. Date on this note: On this note, the year for P#47a is on the reverse top right. On the P#47b it's represented on the obverse bottom right, in the last 4 digits of the serial number.
