The longest-running denomination in the modern Riksbank series, this 1000 Kronor note was printed entirely in-house at the Riksbank's own press in Stockholm — one of the few central banks in Europe to maintain direct control over its own production rather than contracting to specialist security printers like De La Rue or Bradbury Wilkinson. That arrangement gave the Riksbank unusually tight oversight over print runs and destruction records.
By the mid-1980s, 1000 Kronor represented genuine purchasing power, which kept circulation numbers low and handling rough when notes did move. The series was eventually replaced in 1989.
