5 markkaa coin Finland (icebreaker ship)

5 Markkaa Finland — Icebreaker (Issued 1989)

The 5 markkaa was a higher-value everyday coin of the Finnish markka, the currency used until Finland joined the euro in 2002. This type, struck in golden aluminium-bronze, is best known for its maritime theme celebrating Finland’s shipbuilding tradition. It was a solid, warm-toned coin of substantial size for its era.

On the obverse, a Finnish icebreaker ship is shown forging through pack ice, its hull cutting a broad channel, with the legend “SUOMI FINLAND” and the year 1989 set within a panel below. The image honours the icebreakers that keep the Baltic ports open through winter.

On the reverse, a large numeral “5” dominates the field above the word “MARKKAA”, with rows of small stylised birds in flight arranged in a decorative fan beneath the figure.
