Additional information

The Åland Islands occupy a constitutionally peculiar position — Swedish-speaking, Finnish-governed, internationally demilitarized under a 1921 League of Nations convention, and self-governing since 1920. This 1991 issue was struck to mark the 70th anniversary of that autonomy settlement, one of the few genuine successes of League arbitration before the organization collapsed in irrelevance. Finland's commemorative silver program of the late 1980s and early 1990s leaned heavily on regional and cultural themes, and Åland's unambiguous Scandinavian identity made it a logical subject.
