500 Kronor

Göteborgs Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's private note-issuing banks operating under the 1824 banking ordinance that permitted provincial enskilda banks to circulate their own paper currency. This arrangement persisted until the Riksbank gradually absorbed note-issuing rights through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — the 1897 Riksbank Act being the decisive blow — leaving issues from banks like Göteborg's as a finite, closed series.

At 500 kronor, this is among the highest denominations produced by any Swedish enskilda bank, intended for wholesale and interbank settlement rather than everyday commerce. Such notes rarely left counting houses.
