Product Description:
This coin serves as a tangible reminder of Finland's journey towards independence and its ties to the Russian Empire. It represents a pivotal era in Finnish history.
From 1809 to 1917, Russia controlled Finland following the Finnish War and the Treaty of Fredrikshamn. Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire, with its own government and legal system, known as the Finnish Senate. While maintaining internal autonomy, Finland was subject to political and cultural influence from Russia. Fluctuations in autonomy occurred throughout this period. Eventually, on December 6, 1917, Finland gained independence from Russia after the Russian Revolution and the collapse of the Russian Empire.
