| Opmerkingen |
The Riksgälds-Contoir — the National Debt Office rather than the Riksbank — became an issuer of paper money in 1789 out of fiscal desperation. Gustav III needed to finance his war against Russia, and the existing banking apparatus was neither willing nor structurally capable of absorbing the demand. Notes issued under this authority were backed by nothing more reliable than anticipated tax revenues and the outcome of a war that was going badly.
The 24 Schillingar denomination bridges the Swedish and Finnish spelling variants in its title, reflecting the bilingual administrative reality of a kingdom that still held Finland. Gustav III was assassinated in 1792, the same year this series ended.
