The Swedish krona (SEK) has been the currency of Sweden since 1873. It is issued by the Swedish central bank, Sveriges Riksbank. The symbol of the currency is kr. One krona is subdivided into 100 öre. In English, the currency is sometimes referred to as the Swedish crown (‘krona’ means ‘crown’ in Swedish).

Introduced in 1850, the Swiss franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the Italian exclave of Campione d’Italia, and is the only franc remaining in Europe.
