Interesting fact

The 5 Pennia coin from Finland featuring Nikolai II (1896-1917) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil. The coin was issued during the reign of Nicholas II, who was the last emperor of Russia and Grand Duke of Finland. However, the coin was minted in Finland during a period of increased nationalism and political unrest, which ultimately led to Finland's independence from Russia in 1917. This coin serves as a reminder of the complex political history between Finland and Russia during that time.
