10 pennia coin Finland (aluminium bronze)

10 Pennia Finland (Issued 1974)

The 10 penniä was a minor coin of the Finnish markka, the currency used in Finland until the euro was adopted in 2002. This 1970s type was struck in golden aluminium-bronze, giving it a warm colour and a light, durable feel suited to constant handling in small change. A plain rim and modest size kept it easy to recognise.

On the obverse, the Finnish heraldic lion rampant — crowned, holding a sword and treading on a sabre — fills the centre, with the legend “SUOMEN TASAVALTA” (Republic of Finland) around the edge, the year 1974 below and a small mint mark.

On the reverse, a large “10” and the word “PENNIÄ” are set beside a stylised plant sprig, the growing motif balancing the numerals within a beaded border.
