(Sieg 17) A note which is certainly the highlight of this comprehensive collection of banknotes from Iceland. This powerful 50 Kronur design shows the engraving mastery of Giesecke & Devrient.

Deep red and blue under-printed design styling. Back design seen colorful and busy with intricate lathe work in purple, red and blue throughout. "50" counter at left and bird in shield at right. A few minor flecks of rust are observed along with some other minor stains. Overall incredible appeal is had with this century and a decade old note from Iceland. PMG Very Fine 25 Net.
