About this banknote

The Sveriges Riksbank introduced the 500-kronor banknote in 1985, marking the first issuance of this denomination in Sweden. The note features the signatures of Gunnar Sträng and Bengt Dennis. Shortly after its release, the banknote was redesigned to a reddish color to distinguish it from the 100-kronor note, which also had a bluish tint.

The front of the banknote displays a portrait of King Carl XI at the right. The reverse features Christopher Polhem seated at the left center. The watermark is a depiction of King Carl XI. This banknote was demonetized on December 31, 1998.
