Interesting fact
The 20 Markkaa coin from Finland, made of aluminum bronze and weighing 13.0 grams, is interesting because it was used during a time of great change in Finland's history. The coin was introduced in 1931, just a few years after Finland gained its independence from Russia, and it was used until 1939, when Finland was forced to fight a brutal winter war against the Soviet Union. During this time, the coin was a symbol of Finland's newfound independence and its determination to maintain its sovereignty in the face of external threats.
