| Opmerkingen |
The 1898 series for Suomen Pankki was produced while Finland remained an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian Empire, but the notes were deliberately Finnish in character — issued in Finnish and Swedish, denominated in markka rather than rubles, and administered entirely through Helsinki. The Bank of Finland had operated its own currency since 1860, a monetary arrangement St. Petersburg tolerated until the pressures of Russification policy later made such autonomy politically fraught.
Pick 6 is among the less commonly encountered denominations from this issue, as higher-value notes saw more restricted day-to-day circulation and suffered higher attrition through official cancellation and destruction at redemption.
