The Speciedaler was Norway's primary currency unit from 1816 until its replacement by the Krone in 1875, at a rate of 4 Kroner to the Speciedaler — a conversion that wiped out a quarter of the face value for anyone still holding large denominations. By 1864, the 100 Speciedaler was the highest value note in circulation, and the English paper stock is notable: Norges Bank sourced it from Britain throughout much of this period despite operating its own print works in Trondheim since the bank's founding.
Surviving examples from this series are rare. The 1875 currency reform gave holders a narrow redemption window.
