In 2011, Mint of Finland's first coin for the Provincial coin series will be the Tavastia euro coin. In the Middle Ages, the historical province of Tavastia was a large territory. In addition to the current Tavastian counties, it included e.g. most of Central Finland, southern Pirkanmaa and northern Kymenlaakso.

The coin for the Provincial coin series is a hunter's coin as it depicts the old Tavastian hunting tradition.

Ausgabe 5: Uusimaa

The Uusimaa provincial coin – to be launched on June 20 – evokes memories of the times of early industry in Finland. The Uusimaa provincial coin takes you back in time, to when many Finns lived in industrial environment.

In the 12th century, the people of Uusimaa were still mostly travelling hunters, but the region was discovered by more and more people in the following centuries. People moved to Uusimaa especially from the Southwest Finland and Sweden.

In fact, the province was even named after the settlers. The name Uusimaa is spelled in the Swedish form ‘ny land’ (‘new land’) already in documents dating back to the 14th century. It was recorded in the Finnish form ‘Wsimaa’ for the first time by Mikael Agricola in 1548 in the preface of his translation of the New Testament.

Ausgabe 6: Karelia

The promised land of Karelian pasties and Karelian hot pot. Due to be issued in 19th of August, the Karelia provincial coin inspires thoughts of a province in which many Finns have ties. The provincial coin captures the tradition of Karelian birchcraft.

Many Finns have their roots in Karelia. Traditional Karelian dishes, such as Karelian pasties (open rye pastry cases filled with rice), are popular delicacies throughout all of Finland.

The history of the province is a tumultuous one, but there will always be a place for Karelia in the hearts of Finns.

Ausgabe 7: Ostrobothnia

A coin to unite Ostrobothnians. Released at the beginning of October, the Ostrobothnian coin evokes the vast northern flatlands and the honest, determined Ostrobothnian people. The provincial coin depicts tar burning, which is a traditional Ostrobothnian industry.

The reverse side of the Ostrobothnian provincial coin shows the region's historic coat of arms, which dates back to the medieval fiefdoms. Administratively the historic provinces ceased to exist in 1634 when the country, then a part of Sweden, was divided into counties.

During the time of the historic provinces, Ostrobothnia covered much of what is now Southern Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia, Northern Ostrobothnia and Southern Lapland.

Tar from Ostrobothnian pine

The Ostrobothnian provincial coin depicts tar resins and the heart of a stone-covered tar-burning pit, as tar burning is an old Ostrobothnian industry.

Between the 17th and 19th century, the flat Ostrobothnian plains criss-crossed by rivers were ideal terrain for transporting the heavy tar, which was a hefty load.

Large amounts of tar were made of Ostrobothnian pine tress in round tar burning pits with a funnel-shaped bottom.

"Juhani Aho and Finnish Literature commemorative coin is a symbol of bookworms. Order the coin of your own September 19 on from Mint of Finland's outlet store located on our homepage.

A coin for the Finnish national readership will be issued on September 19. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Juhani Aho and Mint of Finland is commemorating this true friend of bookworms everywhere with a collector coin. The Finnish President, Tarja Halonen, is the official patron of the 150th anniversary celebration of Juhani Aho.

Juhani Aho (11.9.1861–8.8.1921) , born Johannes Brofeldt, was the first professional Finnish writer. His works gave a window on everyday life and the landscape of Finland. He was a master of psychological realism and brought other literary elements, such as French modernism, into our own national literary tradition.

Aho's novel Juha has been adapted twice for opera productions and four times for the big screen. Both as an author and as a journalist, Juhani Aho spoke out about the social problems of his day. Alongside his young Finnish co-ideologists, Aho founded the 'Päivälehti' newspaper, which later became what is now Finland's biggest selling broadsheet, 'Helsingin Sanomat'.

Artist of the golden-age

Mint of Finland has its own connection to the writer as Aho was married to Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, the daughter of the Mint's first director, August Soldan.

When they moved to Järvenpää in 1897, Aho and Soldan-Brofeldt founded the Tuusula artistic community and attracted to the area other golden-age Finnish artists, such as Pekka Halonen and Jean Sibelius.

Finnish literature has previously been commemorated with the Mika Waltari collector coin (2008) and the Tove Jansson and children's culture collector coin (2004), amongst others."

Die Mint of Finland berichtet:

The nature conservation collector coin

protecting-the-baltic-sea_medium1.jpg protecting-the-baltic-sea_medium2.jpg

Order the Protecting the Baltic Sea collector coin from Mint of Finland's online outlet store from 31 October.

The Baltic Sea coin has a heart. Mint of Finland's 2011 ethical collector coin commemorates the world's second largest brackish-water basin - the Baltic Sea The organic Protecting the Baltic Sea collector coin is made using recycled silver and comes packaged in a recycled-cardboard case or a glass Vitriini box.

Over the last decades natural disasters have reminded us of the vulnerability of nature, even here in the Baltic Sea region. The Baltic Sea is in need of international protection. The sea’s vulnerability is owed to its fundamental features: it is a low, cold, brackish inland sea.

The problems of the Baltic Sea are a concern for all countries in the region. The Baltic Sea is enclosed by Finland, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.

Our beautiful sea needs protection

The eutrophication caused by loads of nitrogen and phosphorus and the resulting oxygen deficiencies in water masses is the worst threat to the Baltic Sea. Eutrophication also endangers marine species and poses a threat to the livelihoods and recreational activities practiced throughout the Baltic Sea. The strong growth in shipping traffic and especially oil transportation also poses a serious threat.

Man was causing extinction and irreparable change to living organisms in the Baltic Sea region as early as in the Stone Age. These days we load the Baltic Sea with farming runoff, municipal waste water, phosphate-rich washing detergents and litter. However, successful steps have been made to protect the Baltic Sea, such as by sanitising the municipal waste waters from the St Petersburg area.

The third Ethical Collector Coin

After a public vote, the winning design chosen for the Protecting the Baltic Sea collector coin was by art student Essi Kulju from Kajaani. It is the third in the Ethical collector coins series, which, in 2010, saw the release of the Children and Creativity collector coin and, in 2009, the Peace and Security collector coin.

The Protecting the Baltic Sea collector coin comes with a certificate of authenticity, which explains the story behind the coin and the technical details. The certificate of authenticity is signed by the director of the Marine Research Centre, Professor Mari Walls, and Mint of Finland's CEO, Paul Gustafsson.
