Reverse description The large numeral 1 occupies the centre of the field, flanked on either side by stylised representations of rearing lions holding swords, derived from the Finnish coat of arms. The denomination legend MARKKA curves along the lower periphery in bold raised Latin lettering. The overall composition is stark and functionalist, with the heraldic supporters framing the denomination in a balanced, symmetrical arrangement.
