Description
The Bank of Finland (Suomen Pankki) is the central bank of Finland. It is the fourth oldest central bank in the world. It was established on 1 March 1811 in the city of Turku by Alexander I of Russia. In 1819 it was relocated to Helsinki. The Bank created and regulated the Finnish Markka until Finland adopted the Euro in 1999. The Bank of Finland is owned by the Republic of Finland and governed by the Finnish Parliament, through the Parliamentary Supervisory Council and the Board of the bank.
2011 marked the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Bank of Finland. In honor of the anniversary, a 100-euro gold commemorative coin was issued.
