Product Description

Finland 2 Euro 2021 Aland. 2021 Finland 2 Euro 'Aland'. It has been 100 years since Aland became an autonomous area within the Republic of Finland. Aland is a Finnish region consisting of 26,000 islands of which about 70 are inhabited. With an area of 13,340 square kilometres only a small part borders the mainland. When Finland became independent in 1917, Finland subsequently claimed the Aland region. The League of Nations finally decided that Aland remained Finnish territory, whilst more than 95% of the inhabitants indicated that they wanted to belong to Sweden! However, their Swedish culture had to be guaranteed. Among other things, Aland has its own National Anthem, its own flag, its own vehicle license plate and its own police unit. Aland has one deputy in the Finnish parliament and therefore has a small say in Finnish politics. The face of the coin shows a part of the Baltic Sea, a boat and a compass. In Finnish the text '100 years of autonomous area Aland' is shown. The coin is packed in a printed coin holder.
