Comment
Finland was an autonomic duchy of Russia on 1809-1917. First own Markka coins (1, 2 (in probe) 5, 10, 25, 50 penni and 1,2, 10 and 20 markka) were started to be minted in Finland by Helsinki mint since year 1864 and it lasted until 1917 when Finland gained independence of Russia by Lenin's decree.Interesting fact
The 10 Pennia coin from Finland featuring Aleksandr II, minted between 1865 and 1876, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was commonly used for coins in the 19th century. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was produced during a time when Finland was still a Grand Duchy of Russia, and the coin's design reflects this political relationship. The coin features an image of Aleksandr II on one side and the Finnish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the dual authority of the Russian monarch and the Finnish government. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the complex political dynamics of the time.
