| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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.
