Armi Maria Ratia (1912–1979) was the co-founder of the Finnish textile and clothing company Marimekko Oy. She is among Finland's most famous female entrepreneurs.
2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Armi Ratia. In honor of the anniversary, a 10-euro silver commemorative coin was issued.
The Industrial Art coin, named after Ratia, represents the beauty, inspiration and originality of Finnish fashion and design creations. The coin immortalizes the famous Unikko print, the hallmark of the unique textile company Marimerkko, to which Armi Ratia dedicated her life.
