In 1776 the old currency was exchanged for a new national currency based on the riksdaler.
The riksdaler specie was minted in silver, the riksdaler banco was issued by the Bank and the riksdaler riksgälds was issued by the Debt Office.
There were therefore 128 bank skillingar to the riksdaler specie and these became the new standard subdivision of the riksdaler specie in 1834, carrying the name skilling banco.

The riksdaler specie was minted in silver, the riksdaler banco was issued by the Bank of Sweden and the riksdaler riksgälds was issued by the Debt Office.
In 1834, the exchange rates were fixed at 1 riksdaler specie = 2 2/3 riksdaler banco = 4 riksdaler riksgälds.
