One the reverse side of the note and midway between the two main motifs are two lines of minitext with a Swedish text, and it reads as follows: -

"Den 14 juni 1755 beslutade fullmäktige att hos Kungl. Maj:t söka tillstånd att vid Tumba anlägga ett pappersbruk för bankens räkning, där till erhållande af nya och till efterapande svårare formulärer för de nu brukliga bankotransportsedlarna skulle tillverkas ett eget, med vissa ifrån allt annat papper särskilde, och till kompositionen ej lätteligen ut­rönta kännetecken utmärkt papper, med vilkets förfärdigande skall fordras en noga förvarad hemlighet"

And according to the Swedish Central Bank website, it translates as follows: -

"On the 14th June 1755 the Riksbank Council decided to apply for permission from His Royal Majesty for the Riksbank to found a paper mill at Tumba where the manufacture of new and more difficult to counterfeit forms for the now common bank transport bills would be carried out on the bank’s own, special paper with a composition that could not easily be copied and would remain a closely guarded secret.

Footnote: It appears that an error had occurred when printing these notes. The error is related to the braille numbers (round little dots printed on the top right hand corner). These little dots enable those visually impaired individuals to identify the value of the note by running their fingers across the dots. However these tiny little dots printed were not raised and as such are useless to those who are visually impaired. Are we expecting these notes to be replaced soon? I wonder who's fault is this?
