Some facts about the Swedish Krona

Denominations of the Swedish Krona
Notes: SEK 20, SEK 50, SEK 100 and SEK 500
Coins: SEK 1 and SEK 5 and SEK 10
The Swedish krona has been used in Sweden since 1873. When the Scandinavian monetary union disintegrated in 1914, Sweden decided to keep the name of its own currency, as did Norway and Denmark.


Swedish currency coins usually have a picture of the ruler on one side and the value of the coin on the other.
