MMMM Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I did some searching and according to the Sveriges Riksbank at http://www.riksbank.se/en/Notes-and-coins/Notes/Invalid-banknotes/5-kronor-banknote/ (very nice site showing the Swedish notes), the back of the 5 Kronor is a "Scene of Swedish woodland showing a wood-grouse and a spruce." If you search for images of the Wood-Grouse you would see that the image is pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamFLight911 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 From Sweden, 5 Kroner, i believe a Rooster? This note has a tie-in with another country. The Croatian 25 Dinara. The 2 notes were used with the same paper but with diff. watermarks Some of the 25 Dinara were printed with Swedish 5 Krona, Instead of a font.

rbethea Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Here's a neat note. Didn't pay too much for it, due to the missing corner, however I've only seen two others for sale (by the same dealer) and the cheaper one was up for 1100 euros (with a big center hole). Anyway, a neat surprise to find in a brick and mortar store! It's Tahiti P-2b. Also got this for under $10. A nice example that goes well with my other KGVI from 1952.

Dave Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 There's been a lot of nice notes lately. I can contribute a little bit today with these two Hansatsu notes. One is a darker print, while the other is lighter in its printing. 1 Silver Monme - 1866 3 Silver Monme - 1869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Those are great finds. I love Hansatsu notes. Many of them have animals pictured on them. I see them for sale but I don’t know enough about them to know if they are real. How do you tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 They are printed on thick, usually stiff, paper. The inking on most of these has had some wear, and the wear would normally be in line with the bends and folds. It can be a bit tricky, as these were printed by wood-block or completely hand written. The scripts are all over the place too, so even though I've had a number of references, the manner in which things were written is still very hard to decipher.

Dave Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ok, one more Hansatsu - then back to saving up for my last colonial. This one is from 1825 - a silver monme rice trade note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
