Comments

Sveriges Riksbank issued this series during a period of sustained monetary stability under the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which linked Sweden, Denmark, and Norway to a shared gold standard from 1873. The union effectively made Danish and Norwegian kroner interchangeable with Swedish kronor at par — an arrangement that held, more or less cleanly, until the First World War disrupted it entirely.

Pick 14 is among the scarcer low-denomination Riksbank issues of the period. Small-value notes circulated hard and were rarely preserved. The fifteen-year issue window explains some date variety, but surviving examples with early dates from the 1890s are noticeably harder to find than those dated after 1900.
