Sweden (1914-1940)

This serie of banknotes belongs to the period in which, during WW1, Sweden was neutral, although it briefly occupied Åland islands (Finland) jointly with the Germans and then got closer to the Allies. After the war Sweden got industrialised and in that period began the creation of welfare state (known as Folkhemmet, whose birth was when Social Democrats leaded the government from 1932) which is characteristic of modern Sweden. The country mantained its neutal position also during WW2 despite allowing Germans cross the country to invade Norway. There are banknotes of 1 Swedish krona, 5 Swedish kronor, 10 Swedish kronor, 50 Swedish kronor, 100 Swedish kronor, 1,000 Swedish kronor and 10,000 Swedish kronor.
