Description

In December 2006 the Bank of Finland announced the redesign of the national side in order to include the abbreviation of the country's name (FI for Finland). The first letter of the Mint of Finland’s President and CEO (M for Raimo Makkonen) was also replaced with the Mint's logo.

In 2008 the logo of the Mint of Finland was moved from the left of date under the sword's handle. Since 2011 the Mint of Finland is using a new logo (lion instead of cornucopia).

Obverse

Depicts the Finnish heraldic lion surrounded by the twelve stars of the European flag. The date is on the left. FI as an abbreviation for the country of the issue below the sword.

The coat of arms of Finland is a crowned lion on a red field, the right foreleg replaced with an armoured hand brandishing a sword, trampling on a sabre with the hindpaws. The coat of arms was originally created around the year 1580.

The heraldic lion of Finland is a reproduction of a design by the sculptor Heikki Aulis Häiväoja and has been used by previous Finnish coins such as the 1 Markka between 1964 and 2001.
