About this banknote
The 20 mark note was issued by the Finnish Bank (Suomen Pankki) in 1898. This series was introduced during a period when Finland sought to assert its monetary independence while still under Russian control. The issuance by the Finnish Bank increased the Finnish economic autonomy by providing localized currency.
The front side features an allegorical depiction of a female figure with a torch and shield, surrounded by intricate designs and the denomination in numbers and words. The back displays a detailed Finnish coat of arms within ornate borders. This note is cataloged as Pick number 4, with a production total of 2,026,000 pieces.
