Improving Finnish coins

Most of Finnish coins are on Numista.
There still are many that aren't. Not nearly as much as other coins, but still quite many.



Let's start with the patterns:
https://en.numista.com/forum/topic71401.html
This is a list of all the missing pattern coins. (including the 75pen 1863)


The second one is the Turku coins. These are extremely rare old coins. Currently there are only two Turku coins.
6P 1410-1439 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces91953.html
and 8P 1453-1470

But there are more:
1P/Brakteat Erik of Pommerania, possibly 1410-1439, silver
Örtug, Aurtua 1410-1439 Erik of Pommerania 1-1,1g

Kristofer or Bayer Örtug(aurtua) silver 1441-1448 1,1g


Charles VIII 1448-1470 1P (Brakteat) silver, örtug (aurtua) silver 1,1-1,5g


Gustaf I of Sweden 1521-1560
1/2 örtug/aurtuaa (fyrk) silver 0,5g
Örtug/aurtua 0,9-1g
1 fyrk (unique)1523-1524 0,94g silver
1 öre 1523-1524 silver 4,39g
2 öre 1556-1558 silver 3,29g
1/2 Markkaa 1556-1558 6,2g
1 Markka 1556-1558 12g

Klippe coins: (silver)
2öre silver 1556-1557 3g
4öre 1556-1557 6g
8 öre 1556-1557 12g
2,4,8,16 öre 1557 salmiak shaped
16öre 1556-1557 24gI


Some things that may be wrong:

- The 1917 issues (example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10386.html ) were actually made during the time when the Russian provisional government ruled the country, but for example the 25 penniä coin was actually minted by the "reds" (communists) too.


-This coin may be another one of P.U. Helle's "numismatic scam money":
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces78538.html
- A 20€ coin was minted in 2017


That is all, probably all Finnish coins found, not on Numista. If you would like to add a turku coin, ask me for more information. I know the diameters and the amount of silver in them.

Why don't you add them to the catalogue? You're the best source of information about Finnish numismatics I've seen about the forum, and with a little luck, maybe you can even become referee of Finland.

At the moment Finland doesn't have a specific referee, just a master referee taking care of it for now.

That takes time, but maybe I should add at least the Turku coins myself.

I think to improve Finnish catalogue first of all it is needed to divide the km# 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 into #1.1 and #1.2 etc. to present them similar with km 2, 3, 33, 64 and some other. The KM#1.1 is quite a different from #1.2 as well as the other coins which are now situated on the one page.

​Agree on that one.

Monninen, join the army of referees, you have my blessing

Every Turku coins from the rulers Karl VIII, Christopher of Bavaria and Erik of Pomerania are now pending. (Except the Karl VIII Örtug that I accidentally cancelled) I'll do Gustav Vasa later

​Pictures added - lets see if I can get them added now. (The last time I tried, modifications requested) I also found probably the only picture that exists of the unique https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces144678.html.

​Update: None have been accepted yet. Only Turku coins that have not been sent yet are the klippingar coins: 2 öre (done), 4 öre (failed, I'll do it tomorrow) 8 öre and 16 öre.

The next job is to remove the "åbo mint" coins from the Sweden section. This would mean removing:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces113239.html (Klippe 16 öre Salmiakki Has less information than I have, so it could be moved)


https://en.numista.com/catalogue/contributions/voir_ajout.php?id=2338138 (Klippe 2 öre) This could actually in my opinion be moved to the Turku coins. I had no intention of adding a page for the "Salmiakki" version, but I guess its good.

My 2 öre klippingar: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces144843.html


Actually, same thing for https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces114328.html (4 öre "salmiakki"), https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces113245.html öre "salmiakki") and https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces113246.html (another variation)


https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces113238.html has a page
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106269.html has a page. (the one I linked "My 2 öre klippingar")



Could be edited/removed or moved: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106271.html , https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106274.html

Moved?:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106282.html


This got a lot harder when I realized that the Turku klippingar coins have been made before. This probably needs a moderator or something, I dont think I can just move coins to another country easily.

All help is appreciated.
I also just found out that there is one lot older Finnish coin than most of the Turku coins. More on that tomorrow. Its 4am, I should probably sleep.
