The Palmstruch banknote

GMK:2155

A paper banknote worth 10 daler in silver coins. The banknote is about 20 x 15 cm in size. It has a decorative line around the edge and inside this is text written in several different old-fashioned styles. The text says in Swedish: “Att denna credityf-sedels innehafwande havwer i Stockholms Banco /…/ att fordra tio daler.” In English this would be: “The bearer of this note has the right to collect 10 daler from Stockholm’s bank.” On the bottom of the note are eight signatures and ten embossed seals. They are the names and seals of the bank’s director Johan Palmstruch, the bank’s commissioners, bookkeeper and cashiers.
