<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 318993, member: 39&quot;]Finland was a more or less autonomous part of Sweden until 1809, then a more or less autonomous part of Russia (Grand Duchy of F.) until 1917. The coins without the crown were minted before October, I think, under the provisional or interim government following the February 1917 revolution in Russia.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Krause, and similar German catalogs, do in general not list such local issues. Notgeld pieces are way too numerous to be listed in such catalogs, and most of them were not issued by a central authority but by cities or even companies, to cope with the lack of small change in those years. There are specialized catalogs for those issues - in German that would be the Funck and/or the Menzel. But since I do not collect Notgeld/Ersatzgeld, I cannot tell much about those catalogs, or whether there are any in English ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
