Italia07 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/21/2007 11:40 am Hi! I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a coin that I have. I'm not sure where I got it, and it seems to be covered in rust, making it very hard to read and determine where it's from. It's very small and light..I tried scanning it and attempted to clean up the picture somewhat. Any help is greatly appreciated! Edited by Italia07 10/21/2007 12:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

By the way, ten years later (1963) Finland had a currency reform, with 100 of those old markaa becoming 1 new markka ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
