Comment
Heimola building housed the Finnish Parliament from 1911 to 1931, before the current Parliament building was taken into use. The Parliament convened in the Heimola Building on December 6, 1917, to approve Finland's declaration of independence from Russia.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Finland's 100th anniversary of independence from Russia, which was achieved in 1917. The coin's design features a stylized image of a Finnish flag and the years "1917-2017" on one side, and the Finnish coat of arms on the other. The use of silver and the relatively low weight of 25.5 grams make it a unique and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
