Coin collection

The "Decades of Independence" anniversary coin collection was designed for the Mint of Finland. These coins sparked significant controversy and were promptly withdrawn shortly after their release.

The collection aimed to highlight the dual aspects of Finland's 10 decades of independence. One side of each coin celebrates the achievements that defined those decades, while the opposite side reflects the challenges and adversities faced by Finland as an independent nation. The intent is to engage with our history through both its triumphs and trials, emphasizing that our collective memory of remembering and forgetting shapes the nation we are today.
