Depicts the shaman´s drum, the key to the Sámi wise men´s epic songs and spirituality. Country name in Finnish and Swedish on the ring.

Shamans used drums to predict a family´s good fortune and to heal patients. The drum symbolised life and the entire universe in the past, present and future. Drum sticks were often made of reindeer horns.

The Sámi (also spelt Sami or Saami) are a Finno-Ugric-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi (formerly known as Lapland), which today encompasses large northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and of the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, most of the Kola Peninsula in particular.

Depicts the historic coat of arms of Lapland, a region of Finland surrounded by the value and the date above. Engraver's initial (T) and the mint's logo (lion) on the right.

The coat of arms depicts in a silver square a scarlet savage with green birch wreaths on his head and hips, holding with his right hand a golden club, leaning on his shoulder. The savage in heraldry is an old symbol of the uncivilized north, which dominated the books and engravings of the 16th century.
