5 riksdaler riksmynt, Skaraborgs Läns Enskilda Bank, 1865

Skaraborgs Läns Enskilda Bank began operating in 1865 and was based in Skövde, Västergötland, and had a branch office in Mariestad from 1867.

The vignette on the first banknotes issued shows seven coats of arms: the bull of Mariestad, the lion of Västergötland, Saint Helena of Skövde, the bishop of Lidköping, the church of Skara, Falköping’s three towers and Hjo’s one-masted sailing ship.

This 1865 banknote with the denomination 5 riksdaler riksmynt was printed by P. A. Nymans boktryckeri in Stockholm. The bank issued banknotes from 1865 to 1903. The name was changed to Skaraborgs Enskilda Bank in 1906.
