The story
The Mint of Finland was established by Alexander II of Russia in 1860 in the Katajanokka district of Helsinki. The first coins were designed by Alexander Fadejev and the mint dyes were made by Swedish engraver Lea Ahlborn in 1863. The mint began releasing coins from 1864. The production facility later moved to Vantaa, and the Mint of Finland became a public limited company in 1993. In 2001, it bought the ownership of the Swedish mint Myntverket, and in 2003, bought half of the shares of the Royal Norwegian Mint. In 2011, it acquired note manufacturer Saxonia.
