The 500 Markkaa notes of this series were the highest denomination in general circulation before Finland's declaration of independence in 1917, meaning they moved through an economy still formally tied to the Russian imperial system. Finland had its own currency and central bank, but the markka was pegged to gold and the political relationship with St. Petersburg cast a long shadow over monetary policy throughout this period.
Pick 14 is notoriously prone to fold damage along the horizontal center — the paper stock used for the 1909 series was heavier than later issues but reacted poorly to humidity, and Finland's climate did it no favors. Uncirculated survivors are genuinely uncommon.
