Depicts a hedgehog. Country name in Finnish and Swedish above. Engraver's initial (e) below.

The hedgehog, that prickly snuffler of our backyards, is the emblematic animal of Uusimaa. The hedgehog lives in urban areas, close to human habitation, and is a regular guest in many a yard. As a rule, hedgehogs go about by twilight and night. Despite its rotund and short-legged frame, the sympathetic hedgehog is an agile and fast runner. The hedgehog spread to Finland in the 19th century and is a protected species.

Engraver: Erkki Vainio

Depicts Uusimaa coat of arms based on Ahti Hammar's 1962 model. The engraver's initial (T) and logo of the Mint of Finland (lion) on the right. Date above. Value on the left and below.

Uusimaa (lit. 'new land') is a region of Finland. It borders the regions of Southwest Finland, Tavastia Proper (Kanta-Häme), Päijänne Tavastia (Päijät-Häme), and Kymenlaakso. Finland's capital and largest city, Helsinki, along with the surrounding Greater Helsinki area, are both contained in the region, and Uusimaa is Finland's most populous region.

The coat of arms is crowned by a count's coronet, though in Finnish tradition it more closely resembles a Swedish baron's coronet. The coat of arms of the region shows a yellow boat which is a symbol for the coastal areas, and two silver streams which are the symbol for rivers.
