5 Kronor

Gefleborgs Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which allowed note-issuing privileges to chartered institutions outside the Riksbank. The 1875 date places this note in the twilight of that system — the Riksbank gained monopoly on note issuance in 1897, and most enskilda banks either converted or wound up their affairs in the years following.

Gefle, now Gävle, was a significant Baltic port town, and the bank served the commercial traffic of the region. Notes from smaller provincial issuers in this series survive in far lower numbers than those from Stockholm-area institutions.
