The Finnish 2 euro standard circulation coin features a design by Pertti Mäkinen that highlights the natural beauty and cultural identity of the nation. The national side depicts two cloudberry flowers and their ripe fruit, a plant that grows in the marshlands of the northern regions. This botanical motif serves as a symbol of the Finnish landscape and the country's deep connection to its wilderness. Surrounding the central image is the name of the country in both Finnish and Swedish, reflecting Finland’s official bilingual status. The reverse side displays the standard European map common to all euro zone members, representing the unity of the continent. This coin was issued in 1999 with a total mintage of 16,070,000 pieces.
