This specimen was lot 2509 in Steve Album Auction 52 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2025), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "FINLAND: Nicholas II, Grand Duke, 1894-1917, AE 10 penniä, 1905, some minor rim chatter, better date, scarce in this grade, Choice XF, S." This type was struck by the tsarist regime for Finland 1895-1900 and 1905-17. The early dates are scarce but the WWI issues are common. The ten penniä struck after independence (KM 24) was a much smaller coin, only 5 grams.
