Sir Sisu Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Designer: Tero Lounas Ag 925, 38.6mm, 27.4g Mintage BU 30,000 - PROOF 30,000 Obvserse: A stylized open book referencing Chydenius' many publications and the Bible. Reverse: A stylized village representative of those of Chydenius' time; a church is in the center of the village. Edge: Plain Commemorates 200 years since the death of Anders Chydenius (1729-1803). Though his official profession was that of a clergyman, his influence was felt beyond the church. He published a treatise that sought to end mercantalism and free trade from such restictions. As a member of the Diet, he succeeded in securing free trade status for many coastal cities in Ostrobothnia. He was a liberal thinker for his time. As with many clergyman, he also worked on other tasks; developing new agricultural methods and researching medicines. He also has appeared on the 1000 markkaa banknote (1986-2001 series).

Sir Sisu Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I must agree the only problem is they are soooo expensive. Though I'm sure I'll get my hands on one sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
