| Additional information |
Eslövs Kommun issued this piece in 1978 as part of the Swedish local currency movement that briefly flourished when municipalities experimented with commemorative trade tokens during the late 1970s. Skarhult Castle, a Renaissance manor in Skåne with origins in the sixteenth century, passed through several of Sweden's most prominent noble families before eventually opening to the public. The 1000 kronor denomination is purely notional — no municipal authority held the power to issue legal tender, and these circulated locally as souvenirs or event currency at best.
