9 (nijo) Daler Kopparmynt

Riksens Ständers Wäxel-Banco — the Estates of the Realm's Exchange Bank, founded in 1668 and the direct institutional ancestor of Sveriges Riksbank — issued this note during one of the most chaotic monetary episodes in Swedish history. The denomination is expressed in daler kopparmynt, the copper-based unit that by the mid-eighteenth century had fallen so far against the silver daler that conversion rates had become a source of constant public dispute. Nine daler kopparmynt was not a large sum; the denomination existed largely to service the mechanical demands of daily accounting rather than any particular commercial need.

The "Cap and Hat" political crisis of the 1730s–1760s directly destabilized the Bank, as the ruling Hat party expanded note issuance well beyond the metal reserves held in Stockholm to finance an ill-conceived war against Russia. Inflation followed. The kopparmynt notes issued during this window were increasingly distrusted, and the series was eventually withdrawn following the monetary reform of 1776 that consolidated Swedish currency onto a single silver standard.
