Comments

Aland is a group of islands belonging to Finland located in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden. Most of the residents speak Swedish. Following World War I the residents voted to join Sweden, but in 1921 the League of Nations decided that Aland should be an autonomous, demilitarized region under Finnish sovereignty. This unofficial 2019 square 5 Euro coin of Aland was issued to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Aland's first postage stamps. One side of the coin depicts a postal boat as it appeared on some of the islands' stamps which were issued in 1984. The other side includes the coat-of-arms of Aland. The 30mm silver-plated Proof coin has a mintage of only 150 pieces. Made in China.
