| Obverse description | The copper-nickel centre features a naturalistic scene of two whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus), Finland's national bird, in low flight over a tranquil lakeland landscape, rendered in high relief with fine detail in the plumage and water surface below. The mint mark appears to the left within the central motif, and the country identifier 'FI' is positioned to the right, with the date inscribed in the lower portion of the field. The nickel-brass outer ring carries twelve raised five-pointed stars arranged at regular intervals, symbolising the European Union. The composition was engraved by Pertti Mäkinen and evokes the characteristic Finnish wilderness in a restrained yet expressive artistic style. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, common to all eurozone 1 euro coins of the second map type, displays a large numeral '1' in the copper-nickel centre to the left, with a revised cartographic representation of Europe extending across both the centre and into the nickel-brass ring to the right. The legend 'EURO' is inscribed across the map in the central field. The engraver's initials 'LL' for Luc Luycx appear at the lower right of the map. Twelve five-pointed stars are arranged along the right arc of the outer ring, consistent with the standard European Union coinage design introduced in 2007. |

| Additional information |
Finland's euro coinage shifted to the "second map" reverse in 2007, when the original eurozone map — which awkwardly cropped out parts of Scandinavia and showed only fifteen member states — was replaced across all participating countries with a revised design incorporating the full European continent. The update was largely administrative, driven by enlargement pressure as newer accession states objected to their absence from the coinage of a union they had formally joined.
Finnish euro circulation strikes are produced at the Mint of Finland in Vantaa, one of the few national mints to have remained continuously operational through the full euro era.
