Pick 109 is a replacement note — identified by the asterisk suffix on the serial number — a Finnish practice that mirrors the "star note" convention used by several other central banks to substitute for spoiled sheets during production. The Bank of Finland's use of suffixed replacements rather than prefixed ones is a minor but consistent distinguishing feature of the series.
The abnormally high number of replacement signature combinations listed for this type suggests the 1976 series had a long print run spanning multiple administrative changes at the bank.
