| Obverse description | Printed in red and black over a dense guilloche underprint repeating the numeral 100 across the entire field, the obverse centres on the Finnish coat of arms — a crowned shield with a double-headed eagle — flanked by ornate cartouches bearing the bilingual denomination '100 MARK' (left) and '100 MARKKAA' (right). Promise-to-pay text in Swedish at left and Finnish at right is rendered in decorative script, with the date 1882 in a cartouche at the foot centre. Two manuscript signatures appear above the date, with serial numbers placed at the lower left and right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed over a red guilloche underprint incorporating two large circular '100' medallions flanking a central intaglio vignette of a harbour panorama, believed to represent Helsinki seen from the sea, enclosed within an ivy-draped rectangular border. Trilingual denomination inscriptions in Swedish, Finnish, and Russian run across the top, with a full Russian-language promise-to-pay legend positioned below the vignette. Three text panels at the foot carry forgery-warning notices in Finnish, Swedish, and Russian respectively. |
