Finnish 2-euro commemorative coin in proof quality

The third Finnish commemorative coin of 2022 is dedicated to an important theme: Finnish climate research.

Climate change is the most serious environmental threat of our times. It is visible as regional as well as global changes in temperature, rainfall and wind conditions in addition to the rise in the ocean surface. In order to arrest this change, research data and an understanding of what is happening on the Earth’s surface, atmosphere and the entire global ecosystem are required.

• Mirror-gloss proof quality favoured by collectors
• A totally unused and wear-protected collector’s item
• A historically low minting quantity – only 400,000 coins, of which 5,500 are of proof quality

Nature's own air quality meter – beard lichen – is depicted on the obverse side of this commemorative euro-currency coin. The relief is composed of a root-like branching network. The insightful motif can also be interpreted as representing the lungs – reminding us of the importance of air quality and its study. The pictorial theme has been designed by artist duo Tuominen Patel (Terhi Tuominen and Jitan V. Patel).
