Finnish coins from 1869 are super scarce, given what was going on between Russia and Finland at the time. Anyhow, won this little guy (about the size of a US half dime) in a recent auction.

Looks good ! Was thinking about starting to collect old Finland...I'm half Finn on my dads side .
That has a nice look to it.
As I'm learning about world coins on the fly, I've been very fortunate to only have 2 coins not grade (all others were straight graded). One came back cleaned, and another came back with filed rims. Overall not bad considering I made 35+ coins.
I'm hoping this one straight grades, probably XF40 IMHO.
Very nice! I've always liked the eastern European imperial eagle designs, they're very menacing.
It seems the ones I find are cleaned most of the time.
This was probably cleaned a long time ago as well, maybe it was a common practice or something? I've yet to see an MS example in any event, maybe I'll run across one some day.
A great little coin.
Very cool!
