Originally the animal of the coat of arms of Finland was a bear. In some event it was modified and changed to a lion. Here is an original coat of arms of Satakunta. Finland consisted of two provinces: Finland proper and Satakunta.
The coat of arms of Satakunta on the left, Finland Proper on the right. You see the Swedish flag. This was probably the first time the Swedish flag was invented, and it happened in Finland!
