| Comments |
Sweden's highest-denomination note of the interwar period, the 1000 Kronor was issued across an unusually long span that stretched from the final year of the First World War through the early postwar decades. Notes of this value were workhorses of wholesale trade and interbank settlement rather than retail instruments — few ordinary Swedes would have handled one. The long issuance run means date varieties exist, and earlier examples printed before the Riksbank's mid-1920s printing revisions are meaningfully scarcer than later issues.
Paper quality degradation is a known issue on high-denomination notes of this series that saw extended vault storage rather than active circulation.
