Overview
The coin features two flying swans (whooper swans, Finland's national bird) over a typical Finnish lake landscape, designed by Pertti Mäkinen. The outer ring displays the 12 stars of the European Union. The year of issue is typically found on the reverse side.
Historical significance
This coin represents Finland's adoption of the Euro currency, which occurred in 1999 (for accounting purposes) and entered physical circulation in 2002. The design celebrates Finland's natural beauty and national symbol, the whooper swan.
Estimated value
The value of a standard circulation 1 Euro coin is typically its face value, 1 Euro. However, specific mint years, mint errors, or uncirculated condition can sometimes fetch a slightly higher premium for collectors, usually a few Euros.
Care & preservation
To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin unless absolutely necessary and by a professional, as improper cleaning can damage its surface and reduce its value.
