About this banknote
The Sveriges Riksbank issued the 1 krona banknote in 1875, following the establishment of the Swedish krona in 1873. This note was part of the initial series introduced to replace the riksdaler, aligning with the Scandinavian Monetary Union's adoption of a unified currency system.
The obverse features the crowned national coat of arms at the top center, with the inscription "Sweriges Riksbank inlöser, vid anfordran, denna sedel å En Krona med guldmynt enligt lagen om rikets mynt af den 30 Mai 1873." The note measures 134 x 74 mm and includes a watermark with the letter 'S' on the left and 'R' on the right, accompanied by the number '1' above each letter. This banknote was demonetized on December 31, 1987.
