This chromolithograph, part of the "Coins of All Nations" series created for Duke brand cigarettes, depicts a caricature of a Norwegian man with a large, round head and a wide-brimmed hat. The image, designed by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1889, features a stylized depiction of a 10 Kronor coin, showcasing the country's currency. The card's playful nature, using caricature and humor, was a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century.
