COINS OF FINLAND - PATTERNS, TRIAL STRIKES and other SPECIALS

 

 

 

   Patterns for Finnish coins have been struck since 1863., when Stockholm mint issued first series of copper coins, of which three have been struck later for circulation. During the last 150 years, Finland has issued many patterns, trial strikes or souvenir issues, but all of them are extremely rare although sometimes some are offered on numismatic market. Further info are also very rare, so I please if you have got some more info or pictures, let me know to make this listing more detailed.
