| Obverse description | A stylized female face rendered in a modernist sculptural style occupies the central nickel-brass disc, depicted in full frontal view with deeply modelled features and elaborately textured hair suggesting foliage or natural elements. The face is set against a background of diagonal lines evoking ski tracks or a wintry landscape. The denomination '25 MK' appears in the upper field of the outer copper-nickel ring, while the bilingual legend 'SUOMI FINLAND' is inscribed along the lower arc of the ring. The engraver's initials 'RM' are visible in the field to the right of the effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centre depicts a cross-country skier in dynamic forward motion, shown from a close aerial perspective with ski poles and skis rendered in fine detail against a textured snow landscape, occupying the nickel-brass inner disc. The outer copper-nickel ring bears the legend 'HIIHDON MM' along the upper arc and '2001 LAHTI' along the lower arc, referencing the 2001 Nordic Ski World Championships held in Lahti, Finland. The overall composition conveys movement and athleticism through its bold, stylized engraving. |
