Interesting fact

The 25 Pennia coin from Finland, minted between 1940 and 1943, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great turmoil in the country's history. Finland was fighting a brutal Winter War against the Soviet Union, and the coin's production was likely impacted by the war effort. Despite the challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was made of copper, a durable and valuable metal. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item and a reminder of Finland's resilience during a difficult period.
