2. Bi-metallic Quiz Game #824…….…by Jack Hepler, USA
In the 12th century, the people of Uusimaa were still mostly travelling hunters, but the region was discovered by more and more people in the following centuries. People moved to Uusimaa especially from the Southwest Finland and Sweden. 

In fact, the province was even named after the settlers. The name Uusimaa is spelled in the Swedish form ‘ny land’ (‘new land’) already in documents dating back to the 14th century. It was recorded in the Finnish form ‘Wsimaa’ for the first time by Mikael Agricola in 1548 in the preface of his translation of the New Testament.

The reverse side of the Uusimaa 2011, Bi-metallic 5 Euro provincial coin depicts the coat of arms of the Uusimaa historical province.

What is depicted on the obverse?
