| Obverse description | Central design features a stylized schoolroom window divided into six panes, depicted in a graphic, engraved style. The upper four panes display numerals and letters rendered in a child-like hand — '1', '8', '-6', and '6' — evoking arithmetic exercises, while the lower two panes each show a young pupil's bust facing slightly inward, one wearing a hat. The legend 'SUOMI' appears vertically at the left field and 'FINLAND' along the lower rim, with '10 EURO' at the right field. The date '2016' is inscribed above the central motif, flanked by decorative dashes. |

| Reverse description | Central motif features a stylized rooster perched atop a triangular schoolhouse rooftop gable, rendered in a bold, graphic engraved style. The name 'UNO CYGNAEUS' is inscribed in two parts across the mid-field, flanking the rooster's base, commemorating the Finnish educator and father of folk schooling. The triangular gable below bears the inscriptions 'abc' and '1+2' in cursive lettering, symbolizing primary education, with additional cursive script elements filling the lower portion of the triangle. The Mint of Finland privy mark appears to the left of the legend. The overall composition is clean and modernist, set against a plain field. |
