| Reverse description | The standard European Union reverse design by Luc Luycx features a geographical map of Western Europe extending across both the inner core and outer ring on the right side of the coin. The denomination 2 EURO is inscribed over the map, with the numeral 2 prominently positioned in the open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Twelve stars of the European Union are arranged along the right arc of the outer ring, six above and six below the map, with six vertical relief stripes traversing the inner core to visually unite the two star groups. |

| 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.
