1.000 Markkaa / Mark

Finland's postwar monetary situation was chaotic enough that the Suomen Pankki was issuing high-denomination notes almost continuously through the early 1920s, attempting to absorb the inflation driven by wartime disruption and the economic dislocation that followed independence in 1917. The 1922 series represented an effort to stabilize the note supply rather than introduce new denominations — by this point the markka had lost a substantial fraction of its prewar value against gold.

Pick 67 was printed domestically, an increasingly deliberate policy choice as Finland built its own printing infrastructure rather than relying on foreign security printers. The watermark is the primary security device, modest by the standards of contemporary Western European issues.
