Statens Premieobligationer 1931 utbyta 1921

This original vintage poster, issued in 1931, was designed to promote "Statens Premieobligationer" (State Premium Bonds). The poster prominently features The Three Crowns, or "Tre Kronor," a key emblem in Swedish heraldry symbolizing the Kingdom of Sweden.

A Swedish premium bond is a government bond that essentially allows purchasers to lend money to the treasury. Issued by the National Debt Office, these bonds do not pay interest directly to holders. Instead, interest is pooled, and winners are drawn from among the bondholders, offering a chance to win money with each draw.

The text on the poster reads: "Innehavare av STATENS PREMIEOBLIGATIONER av 1921 äga rätt att under tiden 8-30 juni 1931 samt därefter i mån av tillgång UTBYTA desamma mot NYA OBLIGATIONER av år 1931. Under 5 ev. 10 år utlottas i juni o. december vinster å 200.000, 100.000; 50.000 kr. etc. Årligen 25.386 vinster till ett sammanlagt vinstbelopp av Kr. 4.300.000 Kr. Försäljning av 1931 års premieobligationer äger rum fr. om den 1 juli 1931. Inlösen av 1921 års premieobligationer sker fr. o. m. den 1 sept. 1931. Utbyte och försäljning sker hos Riksgäldskontoret, Sveriges Riksbank, samtliga postanstalter, banker, mäklare och kommissionärer."

Although the poster shows signs of age, including crumples and tears, it remains a valuable historical artifact, representing the Premium Bonds draw of the early 1930s.
