| Comments |
Sveriges Riksbank issued this series during a period of significant monetary pressure — Sweden remained on the gold standard until 1914, and the outbreak of the First World War immediately disrupted redemption. Notes that had been freely convertible into gold suddenly were not, and public hoarding of coin accelerated sharply through 1915 and 1916, pushing small-denomination paper into circulation far more aggressively than the pre-war volumes suggest.
Just over twelve million printed across an eleven-year span is a modest run. Heavily circulated survivors tend to show pronounced wear at the horizontal fold lines.
