10 Skilling KM

Riksens Ständers Banco — the Estates of the Realm's Bank — was Sweden's state bank operating under direct parliamentary oversight, a constitutional arrangement that made it one of the oldest continuously functioning central banks in the world at this point. The 10 Skilling denomination sat at the lower end of the Banco's paper money range, issued during a period of significant monetary strain driven by Sweden's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars and the resulting pressure on silver reserves.

Uniface printing on Swedish banco notes of this period was deliberate policy, not economy — the reverse was left blank to facilitate endorsement and transfer notations in circulation. Surviving examples frequently show manuscript entries on the verso.
