This is one of the contigency notes created 1952-1953. They were never circulated and all except 1000 of this banknote were destroyed in the 1980's.
Emergency notes were intended to be used in the event of war. The note is one of 120 million that were secretly printed in England in 1951, with a total value of 4.3 billion Kronor.
Few knew about the notes, which were stored in caves around the country. Most of the emergency notes were destroyed in 1982 because they were too easy to counterfeit. New ones were planned, but the project was scrapped in 1994, three years after the fall of the Soviet Union. The risk of war was considered small and the need for emergency notes disappeared.
