2nd and 3rd number of Block give the year af issue (C0541E =(19)54)
The right signature on this note is always ”Chefen for Seddelfaget”(Head of Notes).The left signature is one of the 3 Directors of DANMARKS NATIONALBANK.
In top and bottom is added a band with ”10” and ”TI” alternately. This makes the Note 6mm higher than the 5 kroner Note (and the previus 10 kroner Note SD#130), so Blind People could feel the difference.
The Band in top and bottom, starts with "10".
The Prefix C1, D6 and D8 is also used for the next Note SD#132. Only difference is the watermark.
