| Obverse description | The obverse features a dynamic, stylised depiction of a ski jumper in mid-flight, body fully extended and skis spread in the classical V-style, rendered across both the inner disc and the outer ring of the bimetallic flan. The composition is set against a plain field, with the diagonal trajectory of the jump ramp visible in the lower portion of the design. Partial lettering from the legend is visible along the outer ring, incorporating the country names and denomination. The design, engraved by Nora Tapper, emphasises athletic motion through bold, minimalist lines. This face carries the inscription SUOMI FINLAND 2016 T 5 EURO. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised aerial view of an athletics stadium, depicting the sweeping curve of a running track with lane markings and a suggestion of cheering spectators in the stands rendered in low relief. The design captures the grandeur of a major sporting venue through geometric abstraction, emphasising the arc of the track as the dominant compositional element. The field is largely plain, allowing the architectural motif to command visual attention. The overall artistic treatment is consistent with the contemporary Finnish commemorative coin series dedicated to sports. |
