What if a coin hidden at the bottom of a drawer or accidentally slipped into your wallet was worth much more than one euro? A discreet, seemingly harmless item could bring you joy today… But which one? Find out why some little treasures could be sleeping right next to you!
Why some coins are worth a small fortune
In the fascinating world of numismatics, some coins gain particularly interesting value over time. This is particularly true of the €1 coin minted in Finland in 2000, as reported by Portugal News. Even then, although the euro officially entered circulation in 2002, many countries, including Finland, began minting coins to prepare for this significant change in the monetary system.
But this monument is valuable not only for its ancient character. It has a strong historical dimension: it commemorates the 80th anniversary of Finland’s independence, which was declared in 1917. The symbol of freedom is depicted here as two majestic swans in flight, designed by sculptor Pertti Mäkinen. This poetic image captures the nation’s newfound freedom, while also adding a unique artistic touch to a widely circulating coin.
