Mint of Finland issued in 2010-2011 a coin series inspired by Finland’s historical provinces. There are nine historical provinces: Åland, Tavastia, Karelia, Lapland, Ostrobothnia, Satakunta, Savonia, Uusimaa and Finland Proper. The reverse of each provincial coin features the historical province’s coat of arms and the face value, 5 EURO. On the obverse of the coin is an image closely related to the culture of the province.
The first coin in the series is the province of Finland Proper. The province coin of Finland Proper features the Rusko drinking cup, a decorative wooden tankard. Such tankards were exported from Finland to Sweden and this trade was particularly active during the 16th century. The Rusko drinking cup is the only ceremonial cup of its kind in Finland.
