Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Markkaa coin from Finland, made of Copper in 1949, features a unique design element - a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed in the design to symbolize the "hole" in the Finnish economy that the country was trying to fill after the devastation of World War II. This interesting fact adds depth and meaning to the coin's design, making it a unique and valuable collector's item.
