Obverse description Printed in black on plain paper, the note is laid out in a typographic letterpress style with the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle vignette at top centre serving as the principal heraldic device. The text body, rendered in three languages — Swedish, Finnish, and Russian — fills the note field with a formal declaration of deposit redeemable in Imperial Russian Bank Assignats. The overall design is austere and utilitarian, consistent with early nineteenth-century Finnish banking issues under Russian Imperial authority.
