Summary

Description
Svenska: Storfurstendömet Finlands vapen.
Suomi: Suomen suurruhtinaskunnan vaakuna.
Français : Armoiries du Grand-Duché de Finlande. Gouverné par les tsars de Russie de 1809 à 1917. Contrairement aux armoiries actuelles de la Finlande (similaires à celles utilisées lorsqu'elle faisait partie de la Suède), l'administration russe a modifié les armoiries de sorte que le lion ne piétine pas le sabre courbe russe, mais le tient.
English: Coat of arms of Great Duchy of Finland, ruled by the tsars of Russia 1809-1917. In contast to Finland's current arms (similar to the arms used when part of Sweden), the Russian administration changed the arms so that the lion didn't trample on the curved [Russian] sabre but instead held it. See e.g. http://historydoc.edu.ru/catalog.asp?cat_ob_no=13874&ob_no=14126 § 2 subsection VIII., and contemporary Finnish coins and stamps for reference, e.g. [1] and File:Suomen_hopeamarkka_1907.png and stamps
