The 200 kroner note is of Kristian Birkeland (1867-1917). Norwegian scientist and co-founder of Norsk Hydro. Famous for his work with the earth’s magnetism.
Behind his portrait are motives of the Northern lights and some well known star constellations. The snow crystal is to symbolize the time of year when the Northern lights are visible.
The back is a map showing the areas where daylight Northern lights are visible.
