- Reason
- High quality image, high EV. The first issue of Finnish markka (1860–62) was introduced to replace the Russian ruble. A scarce note in fairly high grade for the issue.

- Comment Can something be done about the lines from the creases in the paper? Those ones in the middle are particularly distracting. Dusty777 23:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Support If the banknote itself is creased like that, it would be misrepresentation to eliminate the crease. And it could still be much worse — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:00, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- Support You don't see many uncirculated ones these days... ;-) Interesting to note that the obverse only has Swedish text - we Finland-Swedes have dwindled to only 5% by now. --Janke | Talk 06:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
