Interesting fact

The 50 Pennia coin from Finland, minted between 1921 and 1940, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a Finnish maiden, while the reverse side features a spruce tree, which is a symbol of Finland's natural resources and resilience. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Finland, as the country gained independence from Russia in 1917 and experienced significant economic and political growth throughout the interwar period. Despite the challenges of this time, the 50 Pennia coin remains a testament to Finland's enduring spirit and cultural identity.
