Description
By decree of the Ministry of Finance, Mint of Finland Ltd issued a 10 euro silver collector coin to honour the 60 years of peace gone by since the end of World War II.
The collector coin is part of the Europa Coin Programme, also known as the European Silver Programme, or the Eurostar Programme. It is an initiative dedicated to the issuance of collector-oriented legal tender coins in precious metals to celebrate European identity. The issuing authorities of EU member countries voluntarily contribute coins to the Europa Coin Programme. Multiple countries have participated in the programme, beginning in 2004. Some coins are denominated in euro, others are denominated in other currencies.

Obverse

Depicts a dove of peace released from shackles. A dichotomous background has been created on different surfaces, highlighting the change needed: from captivity to freedom - from war to peace. 1945 M 2005 |

A dichotomous background suggests the same change as the obverse, but in a different way: from darkness to light - from war to peace. In a frosty ground, a meandering roots produce only thorns in the darkness, but when light reaches the plant, new life comes. Buds grow, bursting one by one into the flower. The six bell flowers symbolize the past decades of peace - like small bells, they play the message of peace. SUOMI FINLAND 2005 |
