About this banknote
The Riksens Ständers Bank issued the 12 Skilling Banco banknotes between 1834 and 1849. These notes were introduced during a period when Sweden operated three parallel riksdaler currencies with fixed exchange rates. Specifically, 1 Riksdaler equaled 48 Skilling, and 1 Skilling equaled 12 Rundstycken.
The obverse of the 12 Skilling Banco note features handwritten signatures and the date, with the year of printing also indicated. This banknote was demonetized following the currency reforms that led to the introduction of the krona in 1873.
