Incredible work, as with all of your Alternate History things, but in Icelandic it should actually say ''Skandinavíski Ríkisbankinn'' not ''Skandinavíska Ríkisbanka''. I hope I don't come off as rude for correcting a grammatical mistake on something you've obviously put a lot of hard work into, as I'm sure this is not the first comment you've received regarding grammar

This is really amazing work! I'd love to see the reverse! Whose face would they put on it?!?

This is really, really good.
I even have only one nitpick about the Finnish!
("Sata riikintaaleri" -> "sata riikintaaleria"; on their own on a coin or note, quantities larger than "yksi (1) riikintaaleri" usually take the partitive. In the construction "maksaa tästä setelistä yhden riikintaalerin", though, 1 RD is in the accusative, but larger quantities still in the partitive ("maksaa tästä setelistä sata riikintaaleria". If you're copying old Finnish money, check when the "markka" is "markkaa" (part) or "markan" (acc))

Wow. Amazing. With what program did you make the note?

It's gorgeous... looks a lot like a real, old note from before about 1950 or so. Have you designed a reverse for it, or is it just obverse-only for now? Also, how much would it be worth (approximately) in, say, Euros or Danish kroner?
As a minor point, the serial number seems a little faint... and, a lot of times, banknotes will repeat the serial number at least twice.

Thank you for your nice reply.
The note would be a high denomination one with one rixdollar containing 12,64 grammes of silver. Hundred rixdollars would then equal about 930 US dollars with today's silver prices.
So a note like this would not be one the comman man ever handled. Instead it would be used for trade and banking purposes.

Oh man. It's really awesome *_*. What program you used? I always wanted to made my own currency but my skills are to low.

I didn't make the longboat myself - it was a public domain illustration I found online. As for the rest of the note it can be done in any vector graphics application, Illustrator, Inkscape etc.

It's a bit surprising that German is included in the Scandinavian languages.

I included German since my imagined Scandinavian Empire also includes Schleswig-Holstein.

That could make sense, along with the Baltic bits.
