| Reverse description | The reverse presents a mirror-image (offset show-through) impression of the obverse design in blue-grey ink, typical of a proof or trial printing where the wet obverse sheet has been pressed against a second surface. The layout reproduces all principal design elements in reverse — the crowned lion vignette at top, the FEMTIO guilloche oval at centre, the HALLAND side panels, and the corner numeral cartouches — rendered in a single blue-grey tone without the rose underprint of the face. |

| Comments |
Hallands Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which permitted note issuance against a combination of capital reserves and government bonds. The system was gradually wound down following the Riksbank's consolidation of monopoly rights, and most enskilda banks had surrendered their issuing privileges by the 1890s. Hallands Enskilda Bank, based in Halmstad, was among the smaller regional issuers, and high-denomination notes from this house in any condition are genuinely uncommon in the market today.
Printed locally in Halmstad rather than by one of the major Stockholm or foreign security printers — an unusual arrangement that distinguishes this series from contemporaries printed by firms like Björck & Börjesson.
