| Comments |
Christinehamns Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's smaller provincial enskilda banks — private note-issuing institutions authorized under the 1824 and later 1855 banking legislation. By 1876 the system was already under pressure; the Riksbank had been pushing for a monopoly on note issuance for years, and most enskilda banks lost that right definitively with the 1897 Riksbank Act. A note from Christinehamn, a modest industrial town on Lake Vänern, reflects exactly the kind of regional issuer that disappeared entirely within a generation.
Pick 145 is thinly documented in major reference collections, suggesting low survival rates — unsurprising given that redemption and destruction of private bank notes was thorough once the Riksbank consolidation took hold.
