| Reverse description | A medieval Hanseatic cog under full sail is depicted at left center, with a second masted vessel partially visible behind it, evoking the Baltic maritime trade of the Hanseatic League. To the right stands a detailed rendering of Turku Castle, a medieval stone fortress with a prominent tower and auxiliary buildings. Above the scene, a semicircular arch frames twelve five-pointed stars arranged in an arc, symbolizing European unity. The Finnish legend 'HANSE • PORTTI EUROOPPAAN' (Hanse — Gateway to Europe) curves along the upper border, and the date '1996' appears in the lower exergue. |
