The P#91 100 Markkaa belongs to the post-war series issued while Finland was still managing the economic strain of reparations payments to the Soviet Union, which ran until 1952. By 1955 those obligations were met, but the markka remained under pressure — this note predates the 1963 redenomination by which 100 old markkaa became a single new markka, effectively wiping two zeros off the currency.
Printed domestically by the Finnish Security Printing House rather than contracted abroad, as earlier Finnish issues frequently were. The shift to in-house security printing was a deliberate postwar policy choice.
