August 1914. It came as a shock to everyone - The 1st world war.
People hid the coins made of silver or gold.

The convertibility into gold was suspended and very soon there was
a lack of the silvercoins. August the 15th 1914 a brown 1 Krone paper
money was issued.
People thought it was very ugly and in 1916 a new 1 Krone paper money
was made. - The last one was printed in 1921.
