These two notes of 50 and 500 kroner are the second releases of the new Sea series issued on 18.10.2018. The first two issues were the 100 and 200 kroner (both dated 2016) released on 30.05.2017. With these two new notes issued, all previous issues of the 50 and 500 kroner will cease legal tender as from 18.10.2019.
The themes for these two new notes are:-
50 kroner - The sea that binds us together; and
500 kroner - The sea that gives us prosperity.
