1933 Finland 1 Markka coin, VF

This 1933 Finland 1 Markka coin is a classic example of early 20th-century Finnish numismatics. Struck in copper-nickel, the coin features the bold and iconic Arms of Finland on the obverse—a rampant lion with an armored forearm brandishing a sword, trampling on a sabre. This powerful national symbol is elegantly set against the date split across either side of the design.

The reverse displays the denomination “1 MARKKA,” flanked by finely detailed spruce branches, symbolizing the deep connection between Finnish identity and nature. The coin’s fine condition (VF – Very Fine) means it retains strong details with some even wear, making it ideal for collectors who value historical character and legibility.

Issued in the interwar period, this 1 Markka coin tells a story of Finland’s national pride and resilience. It is a desirable piece for collectors of Nordic currency, European historical coins, or anyone passionate about Finnish heritage.
