| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly textured portrait bust of Zacharias Topelius rendered in a mosaic-like, faceted sculptural style, positioned to the upper right of the field. To the left, two small birds — depicted in naturalistic yet stylized relief — animate the composition, one perched and one in flight, alluding to Topelius's celebrated nature poetry and children's literature. Floral and foliate elements surround the portrait, further evoking the natural world central to his literary legacy. The legend ZACHARIAS TOPELIUS 1818–1898 arcs along the upper rim, and the denomination 20 € appears at the lower right of the field. |
