| Reverse description | The reverse is left largely plain on aged cream-coloured laid paper, showing significant wear and old fold lines consistent with circulation use. A manuscript endorsement inscription runs diagonally across the face in cursive script, characteristic of period transfer or ownership notations, with no printed design elements present. |

Riksens Ständers Wäxel-Banco — the Estates of the Realm's Exchange Bank — was Sweden's state bank and one of the oldest central banking institutions in the world, having issued paper money since the 1660s. By the time this note entered circulation, Sweden was deep into a prolonged inflationary crisis driven by reckless wartime borrowing, particularly from the Seven Years' War period, which had caused the kopparmynt-denominated paper to depreciate severely against silver. The daler kopparmynt itself was already an anachronistic unit by the 1760s, retained largely because recalibrating the entire note series would have exposed the full scale of monetary debasement.
The hand-laid paper was sourced domestically and carries the characteristic chain-line pattern visible when held to light. Each note was signed individually by bank officials — forgery was a capital offense in Sweden at this time.
