5 Kronor

Wadstena Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which permitted note issue but tied liability directly to shareholders — a structure that made Swedish private banknotes generally more stable than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe. By 1877, the system was already under pressure from Riksbank expansion, and most enskilda banks lost their note-issuing rights within a generation.

Wadstena itself, a small lakeside town in Östergötland, never developed the commercial weight to sustain a major banking operation. The bank folded before the century ended.
