Getting the big bucks...or what a 50 says about a country

The 50 kronor bank note has Jenny Lind on the front. She's a Swedish opera singer that died in 1887. It's noteworthy that Swedish money has a female on it. I'm pretty sure American paper money of any denomination does not. Having a female on some of the money is apropos given that Sweden has the most gender equality of any nation on Earth, or pretty close to it. On the back, you see a Nyckelharpa (Swedish harp) which is consistent with the Swede's love of music.


Wikipedia has more on the kronor.

Oh, BTW, these bucks are bigger than American money so technically these are "the big bucks."
