Title: The wonderful saga about a land on the other side of the sea

On September 17th this year, it will be exactly 200 years since Sweden ceded Finland to Russia after a disastrous war. I was very surprised to see this text on the backside of the 1 krona coin. It expresses pride over the possession of Finland. I didn't expect this from the Sweden of 2009.

It probably symbolises the ties between the countries or the waves of the Baltic Sea or both.
