Gunnar Nehls was one of three engravers trained at a unique
project set up by the Swedish Post and the printers Tumba Bruk. In the late
1970s, an intensive training course was set up for eleven pupils, so as to
create a pool of experienced and talented designers and engravers, who could
work on the country’s future stamps and banknotes.
In 2000, Gunnar Nehls collaborated with fellow engraver Martin Möck on his book Porträttgravyr på sedlar och frimärken. Nehls wrote the chapter about portrait engraving on Swedish banknotes.

In the end, Nehls would only engrave a couple of stamps for Sweden,
as late as 2005. Fittingly, one of those was a stamp marking the 250th anniversary of the Tumba Bruk printers, which forms a good link to Nehls’
banknote engravings, which are more plentiful. Among others, he engraved all
the portraits on the current range of Swedish banknotes, six in total, introduced
in 2015.
