		Finland	150th anniversary of the Parliament of 1863 when regular Parliament sessions started in Finland	20001 20002
	Description : The convening of the Imperial Diet of the Grand Duchy of Finland ushered in a period of "enlightenment". In Finland, 1863 marked the beginning of true democracy, transparent press operations and the right to use the Finnish language. The convening of regular sessions of the Diet improved the ability of Finns to influence affairs in their country, which was part of the Russian Empire. The coin, designed by Petri Neuvonen, shows the tendril of a germinating plant formed from the numeral 6 of the year "1863", which is meant to symbolise the beginning of Finland's development into a true democracy. In the shape of a circle, "SUOMI" (the country's name in Finnish), a lion (Finland's heraldic animal) the mint mark of the Finnish mint Suomen Rahapaja OY in Vantaa and "FINLAND" (Finland, in Swedish, the second official language) and "2013" are depicted.
