5 Riksdaler Riksmynt

Bohus-Läns Enskilda Bank was one of the Swedish provincial private banks authorized under the 1824 banking reforms, operating out of Gothenburg's northern hinterland. These enskilda banks had the legal right to issue their own notes, a privilege that made regional commerce viable but also produced a chaotic patchwork of competing paper currencies across Sweden — by the 1860s there were over thirty such issuers active simultaneously.

The Riksdaler Riksmynt denomination itself had a short window of relevance: introduced in 1855 to replace the Riksdaler Banco, it was superseded when Sweden adopted the gold-based Krona in 1873. An 1869-dated note like this one was issued just four years before the entire denomination class was retired.
