For sale: a truly impressive collection of treasures found among an estate collector’s belongings: silver coins from the 19th century and the early 20th century.

The markka and pennia coins are mainly from the time of Alexander II. The coins were minted at the Helsinki Mint, and on the reverse side under the right tail feather of the eagle you can see, for example, a small S, which comes from the surname initial of the mint’s then director (for example August Friedrich Soldan or Isak Gustaf Sundell).

In addition, Russian Imperial coins minted at the Saint Petersburg Mint during the reign of Nicholas II are also for sale.

• 2 markkaa of the Grand Duchy of Finland, silver content 868/1000, weight approximately 10.36 grams.

In total, based on these details, there is well over 260 grams of silver of varying fineness. It would be foolish to value these as scrap, as the collectible value is many times higher.

ALL of the above information, such as weights, fineness and values, has been checked by Googling and AI. The coins have not been weighed or professionally assessed for condition by an expert/collector, and they are sold in the condition shown in the pictures.
