	Historical provinces of Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The historical provinces (Finnish: maakunnat or provinssit – singular maakunta or provinssi, Swedish: landskap) of Finland is a legacy of the country's joint history with Sweden.
		The provinces ceased to be an administrative entity already in 1634 when they were superseded by the Counties, a reform which remained in force in Finland until 1997.
		Finland maintains the distinction between Dukal and Countal dignity shown in the coronets for arms of the historical provinces while all the Swedish provinces carry the Swedish style Dukal coronet since 1884.
