Description
The Literacy collector coin, issued by the Mint of Finland, represents the importance of different readers. The Literacy coin is the sixth coin to be issued in the Ethical collector coins series of the Mint of Finland.
Symbols, Braille, notes – we have told our stories using many signs from one age to the next. Literacy is a basic human right since these signs help us develop ourselves and build equality between the sexes, lasting peace and democracy. In 2014, Finland celebrated the Theme Year of Diverse Literacies, supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Engraver: Pertti Mäkinen
