| Comments |
Sveriges Riksbank printed its own notes throughout the nineteenth century, making it one of the few central banks in Europe that never outsourced to a commercial security printer during this period. The 1888–1890 series sits within a long transitional stretch for Swedish currency — the Riksbank had only recently consolidated note-issuing authority away from the provincial enskilda banks, a process completed by 1903 but politically contested for decades prior.
Pick 13 is among the scarcer low-denomination Riksbank issues from this era. Small-value notes circulated hard and were rarely saved.
