    Description

    Finland declared its independence on 6 December 1917. The formal Declaration of Independence was only part of the long process leading to the independence of Finland. The subject of an independent Finland was first mentioned in the 18th century, when present-day Finland was still ruled by Sweden. On 18 March 1742, during the Russian occupation in the Russo-Swedish War (1741–1743), Empress Elizabeth of Russia issued a proclamation in the Finnish language to the Finnish people asking them to create a Finland which would be independent from both Sweden and Russia which led to preparations to create a Kingdom of Finland in 1742. However, it would take another 175 years for independence to become a reality. This proof silver coin was issued to mark the 100th Anniversary of Finland's independence in 1917 and comes as issued by the Mint of Finland in Original Government Packaging.
