Description

The two-euro special coin struck in honour of Tove Jansson (9 August 1914 – 27 June 2001) is designed after the artist’s self portrait. Jansson is one of the internationally best known Finnish authors. She is best remembered for her independent and stubborn Moomin characters with their complex and quite inimitable world view.

In August 2014, one hundred years will have passed from the birth of Tove Jansson. This anniversary is celebrated by Tove100 jubilee year events in Finland and abroad.
