Administratively the historic provinces ceased to exist in 1634 when the country, then a part of Sweden, was divided into counties. The Satakunta coin demonstrates pride in a cradle of Finnish culture. Satakunta has been inhabited for at least 7,000 years – the first signs of life date back to the Mesolithic period and Suomusjärvi culture. The obverse depicts bobbin lace tradition, which goes back hundreds of years in Satakunta. In the Middle Ages, Satakunta was a separate administrative unit. New towns were also established in Satakunta during the Middle Ages. Ulvila was established in 1365 and Rauma in 1442. Duke John of Finland established Pori as the capital of Satakunta in 1558. The reverse features the historical region´s coat of arms and the face value, 5 EURO.
