Description
This First mark and numismatics collector coin is the only Finnish gold coin struck in 2014. It commemorates the birth of Finland’s national currency, the Markka, and honours the numismatists who collect and study metal coins. The first silver Finnish mark was minted at the Mint of Finland on 15 October 1864. The obverse depicts the two-headed Russian eagle with the lion coat of arms of Finland on the shield at its centre.
The numismatist gold coin is presented in a wood box. There is also a special edition of the coin limited to 100 coins, presented in a Vitriini glass case designed by Iittala. The numbering, in the 1/100 format, is stamped on the obverse of the coin and is clearly legible despite the small size of the coin.
