About this banknote
The Sveriges Riksbank issued the 1 krona banknote in 1874, following the introduction of the krona currency in 1873, which replaced the riksdaler at par. This banknote was produced to facilitate transactions during the transition period before the minting of 1 krona coins began in 1875.
The obverse of the banknote features the Great Coat of Arms of Sweden at the top center, supported by two lions. The text reads: "Sweriges Riksbank inlöser, vid anfordran, denna sedel å En Krona med guldmynt enligt lagen om rikets mynt af den 30 Mai 1873," indicating its redeemability in gold coin according to the law of May 30, 1873. This banknote was demonetized on December 31, 1987.
