The Finland 2013 Parliament of 1863 2 euro commemorative coin honours the landmark session that initiated modern parliamentary democracy in the nation. The national side features a stylized design incorporating the year 1863, which marks the convocation of the Diet of Finland by Emperor Alexander II. This pivotal event re-established the Finnish Diet, allowing for regular legislative sessions and fostering the development of Finnish national identity and political autonomy during the period of Russian rule. By commemorating this session, the coin highlights the historical foundations of the Finnish parliamentary system and the country's long-standing commitment to representative governance. The reverse side displays the standard European map common to all euro coins. This commemorative issue was produced in 2013 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
