Etymology

The word 'kronor' comes from the Swedish term 'krone', which means 'crown'. It was first introduced in Sweden in the late 19th century as part of a currency reform intended to standardize monetary systems in accordance with the gold standard. The term has its roots in various European currencies that were named after royal crowns, reflecting the historical significance of crowns as a symbol of authority and governance. The Swedish krona has undergone several changes throughout its history, both in terms of coinage and banknotes. In 1873, the krona was officially adopted as Sweden's currency, replacing the riksdaler. Since then, it has been the primary medium of exchange in Sweden, with the Bank of Sweden responsible for its issuance. Over the years, the design of the kronor banknotes and coins has evolved, featuring prominent cultural and historical figures, as well as symbols that represent Swedish heritage.
