| Obverse description | Brown-olive note with a central intaglio vignette of five allegorical figures — workers and a family group — set before an industrial factory backdrop, rendered in a classical figurative style.

Two serial numbers flank the center below the vignette, with two manuscript signatures and the series letter designation 'Litt. C' at upper left. |

Finland's 1922 series was produced domestically at a time when the country was still finding its footing as an independent printing authority, having only recently broken from Russian imperial monetary infrastructure. The Bank of Finland had been issuing notes under its own name since the nineteenth century, but post-independence production brought new pressure to localize and control the entire supply chain.
P#65 is known for uneven ink distribution across some print runs, which collectors sometimes mistake for aging. It is a manufacturing characteristic, not a condition defect.
