To start, let me present you the first one:
1 penni 1864

this may not be the most pleasant looking coin or the most uncirculated coin, but it is full of history and its also rare. In 1864, only 1MK, 50P, 25P and 1P coins were minted here. So, this was the FIRST copper coin of the Finnish markka. And its also the rarest of the 1864 coins. One grandpa in Turku once said to me he has this coin.
MINTAGE: 30 000
WORTH OF THE COIN IN THE PICTURE: 1200€.
And then there is...
50 penniä 1864

This is an easier find. It is not rare here, can be bought for 40€ if you want a bad condition one. But the coin in this picture was: 75€
MINTAGE: 104000
Then there is the tricky one!
75 kopeks 1812-40

This one is really hard. Never sold online, always go to auctions or experienced shops.
Total "mintage" of all years combined: A bit over 1 million.
Price of the banknote in the picture: I'd guess about 500€. Its possibly even more rare than the 1pen 1864. But its a piece of Finnish history!
1856 Stamps


First Finnish stamps! What is amazing is that buying both costs under 600€.
Cost: First one (two) was sold for 14000€, because there is 2. Second I'd say usually goes for 300€ or 400€-maybe 200€.
"Printage": unknown, probably over a million or atleast over 100000.
And the last one! 12 penniä 1866, from my home city Tampere.

I am going to buy one of these soon. This is not rare, but its from my home city, old and I guess there isn't many other stamps that look like this one.
Total mintage: Under 100 thousand, I am not sure. There is many of these lokalpost stamps from Helsinki also.
Do you own any of the mentioned ones, or other pre-1917 1 penni coins? Or perhaps, Finnish civil war issues or any other Finnish coins, banknotes or stamps?
