| Reverse description | Olive-green reverse dominated by a central shield-shaped vignette carrying the Finnish coat of arms — a crowned lion rampant holding a sword — set within an ornate wreath of foliate guilloche work and flanked by crossed anchors below. The bold numeral '10' appears in intaglio on both the left and right sides, with a fine engine-turned geometric border running along the entire perimeter of the note. |

| Comments |
Finland's post-independence central bank continued issuing notes under its bilingual Finnish-Swedish identity, a political necessity in a country still negotiating internal language tensions through the 1920s. The 1922 series represented an attempt at fiscal stabilization after the severe inflation that followed the Civil War of 1918 and the break from Russian monetary influence.
Printed domestically — unusual for Finnish notes of this period, many of which relied on foreign presses — P#57 was produced in sufficient quantity that circulated examples are not especially scarce, though the cotton substrate is prone to splitting along fold lines.
