4The Norwegian Krone (Norway)

Norway’s banknotes are as striking as its fjords and mountains. The current series features a clean, modern design by Snøhetta and Metric Design, using pixelated images on one side to represent the ocean’s movement, while the other side features more traditional images of Norway’s marine life and seascapes.

The 200-krone note, for example, features a colorful codfish, a symbol of Norway’s fishing heritage, while the 1,000-krone note showcases a wave pattern inspired by the coastal environment. The minimalist, Nordic aesthetic makes the Norwegian krone both elegant and captivating.
