1/PENNI/1917 // Two-headed Russian imperial eagle without crown. 15mm, 1.3 grams. Mint of Finland (Suomen Rahapaja), Helsinki. KM #16; Schön# 10

Nice high grade uncirculated example.

After the abdication of Nicholas II on March 15 1917, no new Grand Duke of Finland was crowned. Finland remained a part of Russia on uncertain terms - the new coins followed the old design, but the crown was removed from the Imperial eagle. Finland declared its independence from Russia on 6 December 1917. Interesting historical type.
