| Comments |
Östergötlands Enskilda Bank was one of dozens of Swedish provincial private banks authorized to issue their own notes under the 1824 banking reforms — a system that persisted until the Riksbank gradually absorbed note-issuing rights through the 1880s and 1890s. By 1867, that consolidation was already visible on the horizon, which makes late-dated enskilda bank notes from smaller regional issuers progressively scarcer as the series closes out.
The cancellation punch on surviving examples indicates redemption rather than destruction — a meaningful distinction, since punched notes were sometimes returned to holders as receipts or retained by the bank as ledger proof. Linköping was both the bank's seat and the place of printing.
