10 Daler

The Åland Islands demanded reunification with Sweden in 1856, 1917, 1920 and 1945, but all demands were ignored by Finland. Åland freed itself from Russian rule with Finland during the Russian Revolution of 1917 but in 1921 the League of Nations declared Åland belonged to Finland, but would be assured autonomy retaining Swedish culture.  In 1951 Åland was given greater autonomy with special citizenship established. In 1970 it became a member of the Nordic Council, participating in cooperation with other nations. Åland began issuing its own stamps in 1984, has had its own flag since 1954 and has a parliament.

However when a private company / consortium, billed itself as the Åland Mint in 1991 and issued 10-, 50-, and 100- silver Daler "coins", through a public relations firm, there was confusion as to whether they were legal tender, or counter casino tokens for slot machines. The Bank of Finland blocked use of these "coins" and purchased the issue in its entirety. 
The coin pictured here is the conclusion, A commemorative coin that celebrate's 70 years of Finnish rule over the 6600 islands of Alands, of which only 110 are inhabited. The language of Åland is Swedish. Åland´s desire for independence involves a complex political situation.
