| Additional information |
Karl Fazer founded his confectionery company in Helsinki in 1891, and the blue milk chocolate bar that bears his name — introduced in 1922 — became so embedded in Finnish national identity that the color itself is now trademarked. This coin was issued as part of Finland's ongoing "Finnish Design" collector series, which has used the commemorative program to spotlight domestic brands and designers rather than historical figures or political events.
The .500 fineness is characteristic of Finnish collector issues from this period, keeping silver content modest while maintaining the legal tender and collector appeal of a precious-metal piece.
