| Comments |
Skaraborgs Läns Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial enskilda banks — privately owned institutions granted the right to issue their own notes under the 1824 banking reforms. By the 1870s, pressure from the Riksbank to consolidate note issuance was already building, and most enskilda banks would lose their circulation privileges within the following decade under the 1897 Riksbank Act, which handed the Riksbank a monopoly on issuance.
Falcks Tryckeri in Stockholm was a commercial printer responsible for several provincial bank issues of this period. The survival rate for circulated enskilda bank notes from Skaraborg is low — the county was predominantly agricultural, and these notes passed through rough hands.
