| Reverse description | The reverse displays a common loon (great northern diver) rendered in relief, swimming across a calm water surface depicted by fine horizontal lines in the central field. Water lily pads and a small lily blossom are shown in the lower portion of the field, evoking a Finnish lakeside scene in a stylised naturalistic manner. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in two lines at the upper right of the field. The legend 'SUOMI FINLAND' curves along the lower left, with the year of issue '2012' at the lower right. The Mint of Finland privy mark appears to the left of the legend. |

| Additional information |
Henrik Wigström served as head workmaster at Fabergé from 1903 until the firm's forced closure by the Bolsheviks in 1917, succeeding Michael Perchin and overseeing the workshop during its most prolific period — including production of several Imperial Easter Eggs. Born in Ekenas, Finland in 1862, his Finnish nationality is the sole reason a Finnish commemorative issue bears his name rather than a Russian one.
