| Additional information |
Issued jointly by Finland and Sweden to mark the centenary of their bilateral athletics competition, one of the oldest recurring track-and-field fixtures between two nations in Europe. The match, first held in 1925, has been contested almost without interruption across two world wars and the full sweep of twentieth-century sport politics — a durability few bilateral sporting events can claim.
Joint commemorative 2 euro issues require both states to allocate a portion of their annual commemorative coin allotment under Eurozone rules, making co-issued pieces inherently limited in total authorized mintage split between two national programs.
