| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed, with wings spread, holding a royal orb in the right talon and a scepter in the left; a crowned heraldic shield is depicted on the breast of the eagle. The design is set within a raised beaded circle, with the plain field surrounding it. This obverse follows the standard imperial type used on Finnish coinage under Russian Grand Duchy authority, though struck during the revolutionary period of 1917 without the cipher of the Tsar. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the bold numeral '5' at the top of the field, followed by the denomination legend 'PENNIÄ' in large raised serif lettering across the center, and the date '1917' positioned in the lower field. The entire design is surrounded by a continuous beaded border following the coin's rim. The layout is clean and typographic, with no additional ornamental devices, reflecting the utilitarian wartime issue character of this coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Finland's 1917 copper issues occupy an awkward constitutional moment: struck while Finland was still a Grand Duchy under Russian authority, yet circulated into the first months of independence declared that December. The Bolshevik revolution in October had effectively severed the administrative chain to Petrograd, leaving Finnish monetary infrastructure in limbo. Coins already in production simply continued rolling out of the Helsinki mint.
The "Civil War Coinage" attribution reflects what followed — a brutal conflict between Reds and Whites that ran from January to May 1918, during which these pieces remained in active circulation on both sides of the front.
