| Reverse description | The polished field of the reverse bears a multi-line inscription rendered in a bold Gothic blackletter typeface, referencing text associated with Runeberg's literary legacy and his connection to the newspaper Helsingfors Tidningar, founded in 1831. The lettering is applied in raised relief against a mirror-like background, filling the entire face of the coin in an artistic typographic composition. The inscription evokes the printed press typography of the early nineteenth century, paying homage to Runeberg's role as a journalist and poet. The overall design is austere yet elegant, with the Gothic script serving as the sole decorative element. |
