Interesting fact

The 10 Pennia coin from Finland was designed by the artist Helge Mether-Borgström and features a unique design that showcases the country's natural beauty. The obverse side of the coin features a stylized image of a spruce tree, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a reindeer. The center hole in the coin was added to make it easier for people to thread the coins onto a string or chain, which was a common practice in Finland at the time.
