(I was searching Finnish coins when I realized that there are only four Finnish patterns on Numista, the 1866 2pen, 20pen and the 1918 5pen, and the silver one. (+ the hole coins with no holes) --old info)
In reality, there are much more patterns:

There is a good site for information. I will search for pictures.
Oh, and then there is the 75pen 1863. Weird one because it's actually a very rare 1950 "official" restrike made to make money... It's a long story.
(I will try to find more info, btw the 1863 1pen is unique. Here is a picture of the backside of the coin:

Its almost 1 AM, I shall continue searching for information tomorrow.

Quote: "Monninen1"I will keep adding the name of the Grand Duke of Finland if they have been missed.
Quote: "Monninen1"Here is a page for the 1863 1 Penni:5 Penniä 1863: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces143590.html

I hope it gets added to numista.
There is probably only 1 known picture of this coin, in this news article:

20 Penniä 1863: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces143594.html
Help with these would be appreciated, more coming soon!
Also, I am planning on going to Kuopio to a museum that has the only 1 Markka 1863 to take some photos.
Added to some coins the Grand Duke' name.

Quote: "Monninen1"If your requests are pending for ages, it's more likely the relevant referee(s) are busy. Contact someone like Jarek to take care of it is what I say.
I will try to get every one of them added, but it usually takes a long time for coins to get added. Probably because Numista is expanding quite rapidly
On a side note, I'd nominate you to be Finland's (co-)referee if that counts as anything, in my opinion you're a superb member of our community and one of a handful of us here who regularly pulls their weight and contributes more than they talk.
So, well done!

Quote: "CassTaylor"loran_ch, the referee for Finland is active. It only took hours. It seems that at the moment in my requests, the referees of Finland are more active than many other countries.

Still, there is a problem with the Turku coins.
There is 14 of these "Modifications requested". I put those photos there and asked the person who owned the photos, but I havent gotten a response. (I tried adding them before, but there was too little information)
I think there needs to be a larger talk about Finland. I think Turku deserves an own page for its coins, as many other, even smaller places have.
The problem is not only this mess, but someone has added turku coins into the Sweden coins section a long ago. I think it would be much clearer if there would be a "country page" for Turku, as it would clear up the mess, as now some coins are under the currency Turku and some are under Sweden with the mention "turku mint" or "åbo mint" such as https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106274.html
