| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large central oval cartouche enclosed within intricate guilloche borders, containing the bilingual promise text in Swedish and Finnish, with the denomination stated as one silver mark. The Imperial Russian double-headed eagle coat of arms is positioned at the top centre above the cartouche, flanked by the denomination '1 Mark.' and '1 Markka.' at the upper corners. Below the cartouche appear the printed titles 'Banko-Direktör' and 'Banko-Kassör' with manuscript signatures, and the Cyrillic legend 'ОДНА МАРКА СЕРЕБРОМЪ' is printed along the lower portion, with serial number and date '1867' at the foot. |
