10 Markkaa, Litt. A 1918

This note was printed in 1909 but pressed into service under radically different political circumstances — the "Litt. A 1918" designation marks notes overprinted or formally acknowledged for use during the Finnish Civil War year, when the White Finnish government and Red Finnish factions each scrambled to control monetary supply. Suomen Pankki remained nominally continuous through the conflict, but currency legitimacy was anything but settled.

Pick 25 is one of the earlier Suomen Pankki issues predating independence, making its 1918 circulation life a notable biographical detail for a note conceived under Russian imperial oversight.
