| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic close-up composition evoking the moment of a basketball shot or block, with a large basketball rendered in high relief dominating the centre field and extending across the bimetallic boundary. To the left, a basketball ring and net are depicted in fine detail, their structural lines rendered with precision against the dark field. Two outstretched hands reach toward the ball from the right, captured in a moment of athletic tension and rendered with naturalistic detail. The design, conceived by engraver Nora Tapper, employs a bold graphic style characteristic of Finland's sports commemorative series, with no legends or inscriptions on this face. |
