Administratively the historic provinces ceased to exist in 1634 when the country, then a part of Sweden, was divided into counties. The obverse depicts the shaman´s drum, the key to the Sámi wise men´s epic songs and spirituality. Country name in Finnish and Swedish on the ring. Shamans used drums to predict a family´s good fortune and to heal patients. The drum symbolised life and the entire universe in the past, present and future. Drum sticks were often made of reindeer horns. The Sámi (also spelt Sami or Saami) are a Finno-Ugric-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi (formerly known as Lapland), which today encompasses large northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and of the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, most of the Kola Peninsula in particular. The reverse features the historical region´s coat of arms and the face value, 5 EURO.
