Overview

A bi-metallic 2 Euro coin featuring cloudberry flowers and berries on the obverse.

Historical significance

One of the first Euro coins produced, Finland minted these starting in 1999 in preparation for the physical currency launch in 2002. The cloudberry is a significant natural symbol of northern Finland.

Obverse (front)

Two cloudberry flowers and berries designed by Raimo Heino. The year 1999 is at the bottom, and the master's mark 'M' is visible. The outer ring features the 12 stars of the European Union.

Reverse (back)

The standard 2 Euro map of Europe (older pre-2007 version) showing the European Union member states, with the denomination '2 EURO' on the right.

Estimated value

$2.50 - $4.00 in circulated condition, $5.00 - $10.00 in uncirculated state

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. As a common date, only high-grade uncirculated examples or those with rare '2006' map errors carry substantial premiums.

Grade assessment

Very Fine (VF) - Visible circulation wear on the higher surfaces of the flowers and outer ring, but details are clear.

Mintage & rarity

16,091,000 (Common)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for a magnetic center and non-magnetic ring. The weight should be exactly 8.5g. Counterfeit 2 Euro coins often have blurry edge lettering.

Notable varieties & errors

The 2006 version is highly sought after if it features the 'New Map' by mistake, but the 1999 is a standard issue.

Similar coins

Other 2 Euro coins from different nations. Finland's design is unique for its botanical theme compared to the portraits used by other countries.

Care & preservation

Do not clean with abrasives or chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place inside an PVC-free holder or flip to prevent scratches.
