P#73 belongs to the "Swedish" series launched by the Riksbank in 2015 — the largest and most technically ambitious redesign in the bank's modern history, conceived in part as a direct response to rising counterfeiting pressure on the preceding polymer-adjacent issues. The series was unusual for having two contracted printers: Crane Currency in the United States handled some production runs while De La Rue in London handled others, though the Riksbank has not publicly delineated which volumes went to which supplier.
Cotton substrate was a deliberate retention over polymer, a choice the Riksbank defended on tactile and longevity grounds despite Sweden's own aggressive push toward cashlessness during exactly this period.
