P#71 belongs to the seventh definitive series issued by Sveriges Riksbank, introduced from 2015 onward following a public consultation that resulted in entirely new portrait subjects — a notable departure from the sixth series, which had run since 1985. The Riksbank explicitly commissioned the redesign to reduce counterfeiting pressure on the older series, which by the 2000s was considered vulnerable by European standards.
The dual-printer attribution — Crane Currency and De La Rue — reflects a supply arrangement common in high-volume Nordic issues, where substrate and finished printing responsibilities are split between contractors.
