| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic close-up composition depicting the lower bodies of two figure skaters — one male and one female — captured mid-stride on the ice, their bladed boots rendered in precise relief against the dark copper-nickel centre. The outer aluminium bronze ring displays fragmented lettering suggestive of the sport's title integrated into an abstract graphic design. The pairing of the two skaters conveys motion and athletic partnership, executed in a bold, modern engraving style characteristic of Finnish commemorative coinage. |

Finland's collector euro program has produced dozens of sports-themed issues, but this one landed in the same year that Finnish figure skater Kiira Korpi retired — a quiet coincidence that gave the issue unexpected local resonance. The 5 euro denomination sits outside the standard circulating series, produced specifically for the collector market and legal tender in name only.
