1 Title: A Glimpse into Finnish History: The One Mark Banknote of 1915. This image showcases the front side of a Finnish One Mark banknote, dated 1915. The note, a testament to the rich financial history of Finland during the 1900s and 1910s, is a striking example of the intricate design and security features that were incorporated into the country's currency at the time. The One Mark banknote was issued by the Bank of Finland, which was founded in 1811 and has played a significant role in the country's monetary system ever since. The note's design features a portrait of V.A. Koskull, a prominent Finnish statesman and economist, who served as the Governor-General of Finland from 1906 to 1917. The note's background is adorned with intricate floral patterns, typical of the Art Nouveau style that was popular during the early 20th century. The security features of the One Mark banknote were advanced for its time. The note includes a watermark of V.A. Koskull's portrait, as well as a microprint of the denomination "1 M" in the bottom right corner. The note also features a color-shifting ink strip, which changes color when the note is tilted, making it difficult to counterfeit. The One Mark banknote served as legal tender in Finland until 1942, when it was replaced by the Markka, which was equivalent to one new Finnish Mark. Today, this banknote is a valuable collector's item and a fascinating glimpse into Finland's financial history. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Finland's monetary system during a time of great change and development.
