| Comments |
Borås Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which permitted note-issuing privileges to chartered private institutions until the Riksbank gradually absorbed that right through legislation culminating in 1904. By 1894, the writing was already on the wall for these banks, and notes from the final decade of the system were often issued in relatively small quantities as the banks wound down or consolidated.
Björn & Börjesson were a Stockholm printing house active in Swedish commercial and financial printing during this period. Their work on provincial bank notes is technically competent but rarely discussed in the literature.
