The P#74 1000 Kronor belongs to the 2015-series redesign that the Riksbank commissioned in response to escalating counterfeiting concerns with the previous polymer-era notes — though the Riksbank notably chose to remain with cotton paper rather than shift to polymer like many contemporaries. The series was designed by Johan Designed by Johan Hansson and printed by Crane Currency's Swedish operation.
At 1000 kronor, this was the highest denomination in regular Swedish circulation. The Riksbank had actually considered eliminating the 1000-kronor note entirely during the redesign discussions, citing declining cash usage in Sweden, which by the mid-2010s had among the lowest cash-transaction rates in the world.
