The 2023 Finland 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the centenary of the Nature Conservation Act, a landmark piece of legislation that remains fundamental to the country's environmental identity. The national side features a stylised graphic representation of a beetle, symbolising the diverse and fragile ecosystems that the act was designed to protect. By highlighting this insect, the design draws attention to the smaller, often overlooked components of the Finnish wilderness that are essential for biodiversity. This legislation, first enacted in 1923, reflects Finland's long-standing commitment to preserving its vast forests and natural landscapes for future generations. The coin serves as a tribute to a century of dedicated efforts in safeguarding the nation's unique ecological heritage. The mintage for this 2023 issue is 400,000 coins.
