The Riksbank dates the introduction of the krona to 1873, when Sweden adopted the gold standard. Its history explains the currency unit and the gold-based exchange-rate framework of the time.

The Riksbank lists current notes of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 kronor. Use the denomination and the pictured design together; a number alone does not identify the issue.

Source: Sveriges Riksbank · invalid banknote designsAs checked on 12 October 2026, the Riksbank’s redemption fee is SEK 300, deducted from the amount returned. Applications must arrive by 30 June 2027 and are assessed under its conditions. Read the current process before sending cash.

No. SEK identifies the Swedish krona; NOK identifies the Norwegian krone. A price marked only “kr” needs a country or currency code before you convert it.
SEK/PLN gives Polish zloty per one Swedish krona. USD/SEK gives Swedish kronor per one US dollar. Reverse a pair when you want the value of one unit in the other direction.
Check the exact design. The Riksbank’s invalid-note list includes the earlier 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000-krona issues; those designs are no longer valid for payments. The current notes with the same values are different issues.

If approved, redemption can be paid into a foreign bank account. Check its current fee, deadline and documentation requirements before posting notes.
