Opmerkingen

Finland in 1860 was still a Grand Duchy under Russian imperial rule, and the Bank of Finland operated under close supervision from St. Petersburg. This 3 Markkaa denomination is part of the first markka series — the markka itself had only just been established by imperial decree in 1860 as a currency unit distinct from the Russian ruble, at a fixed rate of four markkaa to one ruble. The choice to issue a 3 Markkaa note, an odd denomination by later Finnish standards, reflects transitional thinking about what face values were needed to bridge the old ruble-based mental arithmetic of daily commerce.

The series is rare in any condition; survival rates from this inaugural issue are extremely low, as relatively few were printed and the notes predated any systematic archival retention policy at the Bank of Finland.
