These two notes are the final issue of the new series when it was first released on 01.10.2015. These two notes are printed with the letter prefix C. According to the central bank website, this new serious were printed with 3 prefixes – ie Letter A, B and C. The letter represents the year the note was printed, for example, letter A was printed in 2013, B = 2014 and C = 2015.

It is believed that this is how all the notes were printed since 2013:-

2013 Letter A = 50 and 200 Kronor
2014 Letter B = full set from 20 Kronor to 1000 Kronor
2015 Letter C = 100 and 500 Kronor

It appears that many collectors of Swedish new series are not aware of this, which was first issued in 2015. Not even those sellers from Sweden too. In addition to the above, you will also notice that the signatures for the 2015 and 2016 issues are not the same too. The signatures on these two notes are; -

Letter B – Stefan Nils Magnus Ingves (Governor – assumed office 01.01.2006) / Johan Gernandt (Chairman of the General Council of the Riksbank – since 19.10.2006);
Letter C – Stefan Nils Magnus Ingves (Governor) / Susanne Eberstein (Chairman of the General Council of the Riksbank – since 24.10.2014).

From the above, you can see that the B series were printed prior to Susanen Eberstein assumed office.
