The P#46 series was Sweden's highest circulating denomination for most of its print run, which made it a natural target for the sophisticated counterfeit operations that plagued Scandinavian central banks in the postwar decades. Sveriges Riksbank responded by rotating signature combinations across the issue years — at least four distinct signature pairings appear across the 1952–1973 span, making date and signature matching critical for accurate cataloging.
Notes from the final years of this series were withdrawn relatively quickly after the 1973–1974 redesign program began. Lightly circulated survivors from the early 1950s printings are considerably scarcer than the later dates suggest.
