| Obverse description | Bimetallic coin with a copper-nickel outer ring bearing the legend 'SUOMI FINLAND' arcing along the upper periphery and the commemorative date range '1917-1997' along the lower periphery, both in raised Latin characters. The brass centre features a stylised abstract relief design evoking the outline of Finland's geographic form, with bold horizontal and diagonal lines suggesting landscape contours and national borders. The minimalist composition, executed in a modernist artistic style, references the nation's 80th anniversary of independence. The contrasting metals accentuate the interplay between the inscribed ring and the sculptural central field. |
