2 Euro coin 2017 Finland – Finnish nature

Description

The Finnish Nature two euro special coin depicts the full moon over the lighthouse island of Harmaja and a crow gazing down at the world from its perch. The special coin received its design from the winning photograph in the Blue and White special category of the Nature Photograph of the Year competition. The winning photograph was shot by Kari Auvinen.

The crow symbolises the modern Finnish character – an outwardly common but intelligent bird that reacts flexibly to new situations.
