Norwegian WWII Local Emergency Currency

Norway · 1942 · 1 Krone, 2 Kroner

A display of Norwegian local emergency currency from the 1940s, featuring a 1 Krone note from Stord Herad Trygd and a 2 Kroner note from Stemme Uldvarefabrik, issued during the German occupation.

These local scrip issues were created during the German occupation of Norway (1940-1945) to facilitate local commerce and provide alternative currency when official national currency was scarce or distrusted.
