Pick 62 spans a politically awkward transition: Kjell-Olof Feldt, whose name appears on the earlier signature variants, had been Sweden's Finance Minister during the turbulent deregulation of Swedish credit markets in the 1980s before resigning in 1990 over economic policy disputes — an unusual biographical footnote for a man whose signature then appeared on Riksbank notes throughout the late 1990s, this time as Board Chairman rather than minister.
The 2003 signature variant, with Lars Heikensten as Governor, marks the brief overlap before this series was retired and replaced by the redesigned P#64 issue.
