Descrizione del rovescio The reverse is printed in dark ink on a pale ground and carries trilingual text in Finnish, Swedish, and Russian. A large central oval vignette presents an engraved harbour scene with tall-masted sailing vessels, a quayside, and a rocky shoreline under an open sky. Flanking the vignette are two elaborate guilloche rosettes each bearing the numeral '50', with the vertical inscriptions '50 / MARK / I GULD' to the left and '50 / МАРК / ЗОЛОТОМ' to the right. A prominent Cyrillic legend below the vignette reads 'ПРЕДЪЯВИТЕЛЮ СЕГО / ФИНЛЯНДСКIЙ БАНКЪ ВЫДАЕТЪ ПЯТЬДЕСЯТЪ МАРК ЗОЛОТОМ', with three panels of legal warning text in Finnish, Swedish, and Russian at the foot of the note.

Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy under Russian imperial rule when this note was issued, and the Bank of Finland operated under that political arrangement — answerable ultimately to St. Petersburg, not Helsinki. The markka itself had been pegged to the French gold franc since 1878, giving Finland a monetary system deliberately insulated from Russian ruble volatility. That separation was a calculated political act by the Finnish Senate, and the 1880s note series was its most visible instrument.

The P#A49 designation signals a pre-main-series classification — notes issued before the more systematically catalogued runs of the later 1880s and 1890s. Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon; the Finnish climate was hard on paper, and the Bank of Finland itself withdrew and destroyed earlier issues aggressively during subsequent reforms.
