Gefleborgs Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which permitted note issuance backed by the bank's own capital rather than a central reserve. By 1875 that system was already under pressure — the Riksbank was steadily consolidating control over currency issuance, and most enskilda banks would lose their right to issue notes entirely by 1904.
Bradbury, Wilkinson's involvement is the detail worth noting. The Gävle-based bank going to a London security printer for a provincial 100 Kronor note suggests either distrust of domestic print security or a long-standing commercial relationship — possibly shared with other Swedish enskilda banks using the same firm.
