About this banknote
The Suomi Pankki issued this 100 mark note in Finland in 1898. This banknote series was part of a broader effort by the Finnish authorities in the late 19th century to establish a national currency amidst growing economic independence from Russia.
The front side of the note features an image of a man and woman representing Finnish rural life, accompanied by intricate patterns and inscriptions in Swedish and Finnish. The back displays the Finnish coat of arms surrounded by ornate designs. This particular note is designated as Pick number 6 in numismatic catalogs and is notable for its bilingual inscriptions reflecting Finland's historical context.
