Obverse description Black letterpress on orange-yellow underprint. The face is dominated by the denomination and bilingual text in Swedish arranged in the centre, with the series year 1862 incorporated into the design. The overall layout is typographic in character, without pictorial vignettes, consistent with early Finnish banknote printing practice.
