The history of banknotes in Sweden is fascinating and reflects the economic and cultural evolution of the Nordic country. From its earliest banknotes to today's modern designs, Swedish banknotes have undergone numerous changes and innovations over the centuries.
Old Swedish banknotes
The first Swedish banknotes were issued in 1661 by the Bank of Stockholm, making it one of the first countries to introduce paper money. For centuries, Swedish banknotes featured classic designs with portraits of monarchs and historical figures. An important milestone was the introduction of the Swedish krona as the official currency in 1873, replacing the riksdaler. Banknotes of this era were characterized by their elegance and detailed engravings.

Modern Swedish banknotes are distinguished by their innovative design and advanced security measures. The current series, introduced between 2015 and 2016, features Swedish cultural personalities such as Greta Garbo, Ingmar Bergman and Astrid Lindgren. These banknotes incorporate unique security features, such as transparent windows and color-changing elements. In addition, Sweden has become a world leader in the transition to a cashless society, with a decreasing use of physical banknotes in favor of digital transactions.
