10 Riksdaler Riksmynt

Götheborgs Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincially chartered private banks operating under the 1824 enskilda bank legislation, which permitted note issuance but held the founding shareholders personally liable for redemption — a structure that made these institutions generally solvent but cautious. By 1868, the riksdaler riksmynt had only a few years left as Sweden's unit of account; the switch to the krona came with the Scandinavian Monetary Union in 1873, making notes from this period transitional relics of a currency regime already under political pressure.

The counterprint security feature — a blind or ink stamp applied over the face — is characteristic of Swedish enskilda issues of the period, used to authenticate notes returning through correspondent banks.
