The Karelians' provincial animal coin depicts the cuckoo, behind which opens a traditional Karelian lake vista.
The cuckoo is a timid bird that is rarely sighted, since it is most comfortable hiding in the dense boughs of trees. Everyone recognises the cuckoo’s song, though. The Finnish people have attached many beliefs to its cuckooing throughout the ages. For example, a person’s remaining years have been counted by the cuckoo’s first summer song.
