Administratively the historic provinces ceased to exist in 1634 when the country, then a part of Sweden, was divided into counties.
The reverse of each provincial coin features the historical province’s coat of arms. On the obverse of the coin is an image closely related to the culture of the province
Uusimaa is the fifth coin issued in the series.
