Issued to mark the centenary of Waltari's birth, this coin commemorates the Finnish author best known internationally for Sinuhe egyptiläinen (1945), translated into English as The Egyptian and eventually adapted into a Hollywood film in 1954. The novel sold in the millions across dozens of languages — an extraordinary reach for a Finnish-language work — and remains the bestselling Finnish novel of all time.
