| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait bust of Finnish athlete Paavo Nurmi facing left in high relief, his features rendered with great sculptural precision against a horizontally lined background in the field. The circumferential legend reads 'PAAVO NURMI' to the upper left and 'THE FLYING FINN' along the lower arc, with the dates '1897 - 1973' completing the upper legend, all separated by raised dot punctuation. The design is contained within a raised border ring, with the stark contrast between the mirror-like field and the frosted relief lending the portrait a cameo-like quality. |
