Åland Coat of Arms

The series of provincial coins culminates at the beginning of December to the issuing of the Provincial Coin of Åland that ends this magnificent series. The coin of Åland dwellers will please fishermen as the graphics depict the knitting of fishing nets.
Fishing nets were woven at home in winter. They were often made of single-strand linen yarn spun by hand. Early on, the nets were three metres high, and they became increasingly larger, particularly as the stone anchor was replaced by the storm-proof iron anchor.
