| Obverse description | The obverse features a large Olympic torch flame rendered in high relief, occupying the left and upper centre of the field, its textured surface conveying movement and intensity. Below the torch, a stylised cartographic globe grid is depicted with a small map of Finland positioned at its centre, symbolising the nation's place on the world stage. The denomination '10 EURO' appears in bold lettering to the right of the torch. The bilingual country name 'SUOMI FINLAND' is inscribed along the upper left periphery in a bold, rounded typeface. The mint mark 'M' appears in the lower right field near the rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised representation of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium tower rising vertically through the centre of the field, rendered with a textured, stone-like surface that evokes the monument's architectural character. To the right, occupying roughly half the field, is a curved medallion-like form bearing the five interlocked Olympic rings in relief, flanked by the abbreviated inscriptions 'OLY' above and 'HELS' below, with the Roman numeral 'XV' denoting the fifteenth Olympiad positioned above the rings and the year '1952' beneath them. The issue year '2002' is inscribed vertically along the left field. The engraver's initials 'VV' appear at the lower left near the base of the tower. |
