The Finnish 2 euro standard issue coin features the iconic design of the cloudberry, a plant native to the northern regions of the country. This motif, created by artist Raimo Heino, highlights the unique flora of the Finnish landscape and its significance to the national identity. The cloudberry is depicted with two berries and leaves, symbolising the bounty of the wilderness that has long sustained local populations. Surrounding the central design are the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and cooperation of the member states. This standard circulation design has remained a consistent feature of the Finnish euro coinage since the introduction of the currency. The mintage for this 2009 standard issue 2 euro coin is 6,256,500 pieces.
