The banknote features a black and blue color scheme with dimensions of 137 x 77 mm. The front side design includes inscriptions in Finnish and Swedish, with ornate borders and the denomination clearly marked. The back showcases a detailed crest with a crowned lion, surrounded by industrial motifs, reflecting Finland's economic aspirations at the time.
