Interesting fact

The 10 Pennia coin from Finland was designed by the artist Eric O. W. Ehrström, who was a well-known Finnish sculptor and medalist. He designed the coin in 1941, and it was used until 1943. The coin features a center hole, which was a unique feature at the time and was intended to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins in circulation.
