The back of the
Norwegian 200 NOK[?] note shows a geographic map of the north polar regions including
Scandinavia on the right and northern
Canada on the bottom. A ring encircling the magnetic dip pole (located near Resolute, Canada) symbolizes the location of auroral phenomena including the satellite-determined statistical location of
Kristian Birkeland currents.
Kristian Birkeland's original depiction of field-aligned currents published in 1908 is shown in the lower right corner.
