| Obverse description | A stylized upright tree trunk occupies the central field, from which a vigorous new branch emerges and grows upward, rendered in a contemporary graphic style symbolic of Finland's national identity and renewal. The denomination legend '1000 MK M' appears above, flanked by the bilingual country name 'SUOMI FINLAND' in Latin script. Two wavy horizontal lines frame the upper and lower portions of the field, lending a decorative border to the composition. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a large rectangular panel filled with an abstract modernist composition of geometric and organic forms, including triangles, spirals, curved lines, and textured surfaces, collectively symbolizing the development and progress of Finland over eighty years of independence. The dates '1917' and '1997' flank the panel to the left and right respectively in large numerals, marking the commemorated anniversary. Two wavy horizontal lines frame the upper and lower edges of the field, mirroring the obverse border design. The mintmaster's mark 'P' appears in the lower right of the field, with the copyright symbol at lower left. |
