Norges Bank established its own printing works in 1816 — an unusual choice for a young central bank, and one that gave Norway early control over its note production at a time when most comparable institutions were still contracting out to London or Paris. The paper itself came from Bentsebrug, a mill on the Akerselva river outside Christiania that supplied the bank through much of the nineteenth century.
The Speciedaler was Norway's primary monetary unit until decimalization swept it away in 1875, when the Krone was introduced across the Scandinavian monetary union. Notes from the 1846–1849 window predate any significant mechanization of the Trondheim works.
