9 Daler KM Transport Banknote; Type 3

The Riksens Ständers Wäxel-Banco — Sweden's Estates of the Realm bank, effectively the predecessor to the Riksbank — issued transport notes as a practical solution to the logistical problem of moving large sums between cities. A transport note was not general-purpose currency; it was issued for a specific transfer and theoretically redeemable only upon arrival at the destination branch. In practice, they circulated more freely than intended, which contributed to inflationary pressure and was one of several factors behind Sweden's serious monetary crisis of the 1760s.

The 9 Daler denomination is an awkward one by modern expectations, but daler kopparmynt denominations in this series followed accounting conventions rather than decimal logic. The embossed seal was the primary authentication device — hand-signed notes of this period are notoriously prone to forgery, and surviving examples frequently show contemporary manuscript annotations recording transfers or partial payments.
